*I* can assume because in our environment there is one production account on one device. I wasn't suggesting that this specific utility would be of any use in any other environments, only that the underlying OS-level command could be used in a similar way to translate an inode into a file name.

My code xample isn't written to be able to switch devices because that's of no se to me in the context of listing locked production files in our nvironment. If you want to write a utility that executes "ls -i" on ny device, that's fairly trivial and there are numerous ways you could o it. Just write some code to get the correct path into a variable by hatever means you prefer and tack it on to the end of the command. -John -----Original Message----- rom: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Wjhonson ent: Friday, March 16, 2012 4:47 PM o: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org ubject: Re: [U2] Turn a device and inode into file name he provided code does not specify a device, so how can you select a evice even if you know it? t doesn't seem to be changing devices.... -----Original Message----- rom: John Hester <jhes...@momtex.com> o: U2 Users List <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> ent: Fri, Mar 16, 2012 4:41 pm ubject: Re: [U2] Turn a device and inode into file name t works fine if you have multiple devices because you can only run it ainst one account and one device at a time. "ls -i" doesn't span rectory hierarchies or devices. You do at least have to know what vice the file in question is on, but if you don't know that there's no ol that will reliably work for you.

It uses "ls -i", so it's ited to files in the account you run the command from, though. Works e for us because all of our users work out of the same account. This he relevant part of the code: INODE.NO = TRIM(READU.ARRAY<I,3>) EXECUTE 'SH -c "ls -i | grep ':INODE.NO:'"', OUT > FILENAME IF FILENAME<1,1,1> # '' THEN FILENAME = FIELD(TRIM(FILENAME<1,1,1>),' ',2) 'L#8' 's also pretty resource intensive because it re-lists the entire count or every inode. Probably not much of an issue if your hardware fairly ew. ohn ---Original Message----- m: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org ilto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Wjhonson t: Friday, March 16, 2012 12:24 PM u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org ject: [U2] Turn a device and inode into file name nyone have an easy ay to do this? the past I've run a batch routine to just query each and every niverse le for it's inode and device and build a table of these Every week.... ms like a great amount of overkill to me. could also mod the CREATE-FILE command to sniff it and make an xref ry but .... y suggestions? s is NOT for the case where you know the file and want to find the ode nd device It's for the case where you know the inode and device ly) and want to find the file. ____________________________________________ Users mailing list us...@listserver.u2ug.org p://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ____________________________________________ Users mailing list us...@listserver.u2ug.org p://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ______________________________________________ -Users mailing list -us...@listserver.u2ug.org tp://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _____________________________________________ -Users mailing list -us...@listserver.u2ug.org tp://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ 2-Users mailing list 2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org ttp://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ______________________________________________ 2-Users mailing list 2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org ttp://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
