Use CPTYPE to cause CP to display selected lines of a file on a minidisk that you
identified to CP with either a CPACCESS command or a CP_ACCESS statement.
For more information on the CPACCESS command, see page 79. For more
information on the CP_ACCESS statement, see the z/VM: CP Planning and
Administration book.
end
fn is the file name of the file that you want to display.
ft is the file type of the file that you want to display.
CPTYPE
fm is the file mode letter of the minidisk that you identified to CP by using the
CPACCESS command or the CP_ACCESS statement. If you omit fm, CP
displays the specified file on the disk it has accessed as A (the default). If you
specify an asterisk (*), CP searches all the accessed minidisks and displays the
first file found in the search hierarchy.
MEMber member
is the name of a member within the file that you want to display. Member is
meaningful if your file is a CMS partitioned data set (for example, a TXTLIB),
because this is the type of file that has members.
start
is the line number of the first record you want CP to display. You can specify
any positive decimal number between 1 and the line number of the last record
in the file. If this number is greater than the line number of the last record in the
file, you receive an error message. If you do not specify a number, CP starts
displaying the file at line 1 (the default).
end
is the line number of the last record you want CP to display. You can specify
any positive decimal number between 1 and the line number of the last record
in the file. If you do not specify a number, CP displays the file at the line
specified by start and continues displaying until it reaches the end of the file.
