SYSCMD - PC/DOS

At times it will be necessary to perform commands from the operating system. MC has provided a utility to do this without taking the system down. By performing a call program, this utility can be accessed. To do this you must be at a menu with your company name at the top.

Press <Alt F1>. This will display:

1. Copy File

    This will allow you to copy a file from one directory or disk drive to another.

    Copy file: REORG.BAT
    to: A:\REORG.BAT

2. Directory

    This will list files in any directory on the system. The default directory is mcadata. To list files in a different directory, the full path must be entered.

    Template: C:\MCAOBJ\SYSCMD.*

    Strike any key to continue.

3. Erase a File

    This option will delete one file at a time on your system. The full pathname must be entered for directories other than mcadata.

    Erase file: TMPQ0000.NX

    The file has been erased!

4. Rename a File

    The rename a file option will change the name of the entered file on your system.

    Rename file: $TMPQ0001
    to: TMPQ0001

5. Space on Disk

    This option will display the total as well as the free bytes on the disk entered.

    Disk Device to look up or space for default: C

    Strike any key to continue.

    C: has 245,043,200 total bytes with 8,343,252 bytes free.

Note: Care must be taken when using these options to avoid renaming or deleting the wrong files. If an exception status is displayed on the screen, this will indicate the use of that option was not successful.

Exception Status 5 Access to the file or device is denied.
