DBCHKD
FUNCTION:
Checks a directory file (any file created with
DIR/D/H/V filspec=) against the files on the system.
This program will NOT change any of the files on the user's
system.
HINTS/RESTRICTIONS:
Use DBCHKD to find out what files on your system differ from a
directory.
DBCHKD requires VERIFY.LIT and AMOS/L 1.3 or later.
FORMAT:
.
_RUN DBCHKD
DEFAULTS:
1. The directory file name defaults to AMOS
2. The directory file extension defaults to .DIR
3. All Yes/No questions default to No
OPTIONS:
There are no options other than the obvious.
OPERATION:
Log into an account that has a directory file that you wish to
check:
.
_LOG DSK0:[1,2]RETURN
Type RUN DBCHKD and press the RETURN key:
.
_RUN DBCHKDRETURN
DBCHKD will now display a screen of information about DBCHKD. Press
the RETURN key to continue.
.
_RETURN
DBCHKD then asks the following questions:
1. What is the name of the directory to be checked
_______________________________________________
(default=AMOS.DIR)
__________________
Type dirnam and press the RETURN key:
(dirnam)RETURN
where dirnam is the name of any file created with
"DIR/D/H/V filnam.ext=". The filnam defaults to
"AMOS" and the .ext defaults to .DIR
DBCHKD will then look for the named file and if it is not in the
account will say:
Fatal error - I can't find (dirnam.ext)
_______________________________________
and then abort.
DBCHKD - rev. A (03/25/91)
DBCHKD (Cont'd) Page 2
2. If any files in this account have the same name(s) as
those used by DBCHKD then DBCHKD will say:
WARNING! The following files WILL be overwritten:
_________________________________________________
(names of files affected)
_________________________
and ask:
Do you wish to continue? (DEF=N) ?
__________________________________
Type a "Y" and then a RETURN to continue, any
other character (or none) followed by a
RETURN will abort DBCHKD
YRETURN
DBCHKD then displays:
Phase 1 of DBCHKD - Create Necessary files
__________________________________________
and continues to write some basic programs and command
files (all named UTDCPx) and then makes a copy of the
directory file named UTDCP1.DIR.
Phase 2 of DBCHKD - Verify the Directory to a file
__________________________________________________
See the VERIFY.LIT information.
Phase 3 of DBCHKD - Eliminate the 'VERIFIED' files
__________________________________________________
Deletes all of the VERIFIED files from the VERIFY.LST
file.
Phase 4 of DBCHKD - Create a command file to get current
________________________________________________________
file info
_________
Phase 5 of DBCHKD - Get the current file info
_____________________________________________
Phase 6 of DBCHKD - Lists the anomalies to a file
_________________________________________________
Phase 7 of DBCHKD - Cleanup
___________________________
and then asks:
Do you want work files erased? (Y/N) (def=N)
_____________________________________________
Type a "Y" and a RETURN to erase the files created
by DBCHKD except dirnam.CHK. Any other character
(or none) and a return will leave the 'work' files
on the system.
the system then prints:
I hope you found DBCHKD useful - Dave Barrow
____________________________________________
The comparison file is dirnam.CHK
_________________________________
dirnam.CHK has the name of the directory that was checked and
the date and time that the check was done. Then, for each file
that doesn't match the directory the following is printed:
Anomaly #n dirnam directory shows:
_______________________
(full file spec) (version) (hash)
___________________________________________________
file on system is:
__________________
(full file spec) (version) (hash)

COMMAND SUMMARY:
DBCHKD - rev. A (03/25/91)
DBCHKD (Cont'd) Page 3
ERRORS:
I can't work without DSK0:VERIFY.LIT[1,4] - Sorry
_________________________________________________
DBCHKD did a LOOKUP and didn't find VERIFY in SYS:. Since
that is the heart of the program DBCHKD aborted.
I can't find (directory name)
_____________________________
DBCHKD did a LOOKUP for the (directory name) file in the
account that you are logged into and couldn't find it. Check
the error message to make sure that the directory name
displayed is the same as the directory file.
VERIFY didn't work. Check your directory.
__________________________________________
The usual reason is that one of the logical devices listed in
the directory doesn't exist on your system.
