Does anyone know what a unix equivalent to the following OpenVms string would be?
variable1 = F$FAO("!123AS",file_create_time)
I can't seem to find the proper syntax of anything I try.
Thx!

"users" will let me know who else is... (1 Reply)

Hello admins and moderators,
I was just wondering why you never opened an openVMS subforum under Operating Systems section. After all, openVMS is still active.
thanks. (0 Replies)

file::spec::vms
File::Spec::VMS(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide File::Spec::VMS(3pm)
NAME
File::Spec::VMS - methods for VMS file specs
SYNOPSIS
require File::Spec::VMS; # Done internally by File::Spec if needed
DESCRIPTION
See File::Spec::Unix for a documentation of the methods provided there. This package overrides the implementation of these methods, not the
semantics.
eliminate_macros
Expands MM[KS]/Make macros in a text string, using the contents of identically named elements of %$self, and returns the result as a
file specification in Unix syntax.
fixpath
Catchall routine to clean up problem MM[SK]/Make macros. Expands macros in any directory specification, in order to avoid juxtaposing
two VMS-syntax directories when MM[SK] is run. Also expands expressions which are all macro, so that we can tell how long the expan-
sion is, and avoid overrunning DCL's command buffer when MM[KS] is running.
If optional second argument has a TRUE value, then the return string is a VMS-syntax directory specification, if it is FALSE, the
return string is a VMS-syntax file specification, and if it is not specified, fixpath() checks to see whether it matches the name of a
directory in the current default directory, and returns a directory or file specification accordingly.
Methods always loaded
canonpath (override)
Removes redundant portions of file specifications according to VMS syntax.
catdir
Concatenates a list of file specifications, and returns the result as a VMS-syntax directory specification. No check is made for
"impossible" cases (e.g. elements other than the first being absolute filespecs).
catfile
Concatenates a list of file specifications, and returns the result as a VMS-syntax file specification.
curdir (override)
Returns a string representation of the current directory: '[]'
devnull (override)
Returns a string representation of the null device: '_NLA0:'
rootdir (override)
Returns a string representation of the root directory: 'SYS$DISK:[000000]'
tmpdir (override)
Returns a string representation of the first writable directory from the following list or '' if none are writable:
sys$scratch:
$ENV{TMPDIR}
Since perl 5.8.0, if running under taint mode, and if $ENV{TMPDIR} is tainted, it is not used.
updir (override)
Returns a string representation of the parent directory: '[-]'
case_tolerant (override)
VMS file specification syntax is case-tolerant.
path (override)
Translate logical name DCL$PATH as a searchlist, rather than trying to "split" string value of $ENV{'PATH'}.
file_name_is_absolute (override)
Checks for VMS directory spec as well as Unix separators.
splitpath (override)
Splits using VMS syntax.
splitdir (override)
Split dirspec using VMS syntax.
catpath (override)
Construct a complete filespec using VMS syntax
abs2rel (override)
Use VMS syntax when converting filespecs.
rel2abs (override)
Use VMS syntax when converting filespecs.
