Scan File Systems (QSCANFS)

The Scan File Systems (QSCANFS) system value allows you the option to specify the integrated file system in which objects will be scanned.

For example, you can use this option to scan for a virus. Integrated file system scanning is enabled when exit programs are registered with any of the integrated file system scan-related exit points. The QSCANFS system value specifies the integrated file systems in which objects will be scanned when exit programs are registered with any of the integrated file system scan-related exit points.

The integrated file system scan-related exit points are:

QIBM_QP0L_SCAN_OPEN — Integrated file system scan on open exit.
QIBM_QP0L_SCAN_CLOSE — Integrated file system scan on close exit.

For more information about integrated file systems, see the Integrated file system topic.

Table 1. Possible values for the QSCANFS system value:
*NONE	No integrated file system objects will be scanned.
*ROOTOPNUD	Objects of type STMF that are in TYPE2 directories in the "root" (/), QOpenSys, and user-defined file systems will be scanned.

Recommended value: The recommended value is *ROOTOPNUD so that the "root" (/), QOpenSys and user-defined file systems are scanned when anyone registers exit programs with the integrated file system scan-related exit points.
