The z/OS® UNIX Directory List Utility panel contains these fields:

Pathname

This is a scrollable field where you enter the path name of the directory you want to list or print. If you leave this field blank, your home directory is used. If the field is blank and you do not have a home directory, you are prompted to enter a path name.

You can use these special characters at the beginning of the Pathname field to represent the path name for a particular directory:

~

(Tilde) The path name for your home directory.

.

(Period) The path name for your current working directory.

..

(Double period) The path name of the parent directory of your current working directory.

Note: Within the z/OS UNIX Directory List Utility, you can also use these special characters in any field where a z/OS UNIX file path name can be entered.

Confirm Non-empty Directory Delete

This option controls the display of the Confirm Non-empty Directory Delete panel. This panel is displayed when using the directory list D line command to delete a directory that contains files and subdirectories. If this option is selected, the Confirm Non-empty Directory Delete panel is displayed. If this option is not selected, the panel is not displayed and the directory (including all contained files and subdirectories) is deleted without any additional user interaction.
