      DIRECTORY  [ qualifier ]  ...  [ element-name ]   ,...

1  –  Parameters

1.1  –  element-name

    Specifies the element or elements to be listed. This name can
    specify a CDO element, a CDO directory, or a logical name.

2  –  Qualifiers

2.1    /BEFORE

    Format options:

       /BEFORE=time
       /NOBEFORE (default)

    Selects only those elements dated before the specified time. If
    you do not specify a time with the /BEFORE qualifier, CDO uses
    /BEFORE=TODAY qualifier as the value.

2.2    /BRIEF

    Format option:

    /BRIEF (default)

    Displays the element names and their types. This is the default
    display.

2.3    /FORMAT

    Format options:

       /FORMAT
       /NOFORMAT (default)

    Displays the text specifying whether the element is in CDO or DMU
    format (in a CDO repository or a DMU dictionary).

2.4    /FULL

    Displays the name, type, parent, approximate size, and access
    control information (protection) for each repository element.
    If an element appears under an alternate name in a distributed
    repository, these names appear also.

2.5    /SINCE

    Format options:

       /SINCE=time
       /NOSINCE (default)

    Displays only those elements dated at or after the specified
    time. If you do not specify a time with the /SINCE qualifier, CDO
    uses /SINCE=TODAY as the value.

2.6    /TYPE

    Format options:

       /TYPE=(type-name,...)
       /NOTYPE (default)

    Displays only elements of the specified type or types. You cannot
    use wildcard characters in the type name.

3  –  Description

    The DIRECTORY command lists an element or elements in one or more
    repository directories.

                               RESTRICTION

       If you have a context set, CDO limits the display to those
       elements that are visible to your context. If you do not
       have a context set, this restriction does not apply.

       CDO only displays the names of those elements to which you
       have READ access.

       With the /BEFORE and /SINCE qualifiers, you can specify any
       of the following for a time:

       o  Absolute time

       o  Combination of absolute and delta times

       o  A keyword such as TODAY or YESTERDAY

       See the OpenVMS documentation for more information about
       specifying times.

4  –  Examples

    1.CDO>  DIRECTORY /SINCE=YESTERDAY

      In this example, the DIRECTORY command will display the names,
      versions, and types of all elements CDO has created since 00:00
      (midnight) of the previous day in the current default
      directory.

    2.CDO>  DIRECTORY /FULL DISK1:[JONES.DICT]REVIEW.*
       Directory DISK1:[JONES.DICT]REVIEW

      In this example, the DIRECTORY command with the /FULL qualifier
      will display the name, type, parent, and protection information
      for elements in the REVIEW directory and in any distributed
      repositories.
