osfile_test_driver

This test driver is most useful for non-VMS operating systems, since the ability to define a stretched-logical and to locate files within the hierarchy of the stretch is already inherent to the VMS operating system. One function of the OSFILE_PKG is to provide this capability for non-VMS operating systems, and the test driver verifies that the functions are working properly. There are other functions within the OSFILE_PKG that apply to all operating systems, so the test driver has general applicability as well.

VMS:
1. Create two test directories that can be written to

(e.g. disk$scratch:[mydirone] disk$scratch:[mydirtwo])

2. Create a local copy of OPUS_DEFINITIONS_DIR:osfile_test_driver.dat in your definitions override area and enter the VMS directory names in the VMS parameters.

3. Define a stretched logical across the test directories

def/proc MYDIRSTRETCH disk$scratch:[mydirone],disk$scratch:[mydirtwo]

The directories in the stretch should match those created in step 1. The name of the logical must be MYDIRSTRETCH.

UNIX:
1. Create two test directories that can be written to

(e.g. /leo/mswam/mydirone /leo/mswam/mydirtwo)

2. Create a local copy of OPUS_DEFINITIONS_DIR:osfile_test_driver.dat in your definitions override area and enter the UNIX directory names in the UNIX parameters.

(Step 3 is not needed under UNIX since the UNIX stretch can be defined by this test program automatically.)

$ osfile_test_driver [resource.dat]

where resource.dat defaults to opus_definitions_dir:osfile_test_driver.dat .

Inputs

See setup section above.

Should write a completion message if successful. Writes error messages for failures.

$ osfile_test_driver
This example will run the test driver using the default resource data file.
