DIRECTORY/SINCE=NOBACKUP?

» close window

The Question is:

 
How can I use the DIRECTORY command to list only the files on a disk which have
 no backup date recorded?  Is this a gotcha?
 

The Answer is :

 
  DCL lexical functions such as f$file_attributes and a simple loop
  through the directory, most likely.
 
  Alternatively:
 
    $ pipe direct/nohead/notrai/width=filename=50/date=backup | -
        search sys$input "<no backup recorded>"
