FILETYPES FOR CMS COMMANDS Reserved filetypes sometimes indicate how the file is used in the CES system: the filetype ASSEMBLE, for example, indicates that the file is
to be used as input to the assembler; the filetype TEXT indicates that
the file is in relocatable object form, and so on. Many CMS commands
assume input files of particular filetypes, and require you to enter
only the filename on the command line. For example, if you enter:
synonym test CMS searches for a file with a filetype of SYNONYM and a filename of TEST. A file named TEST that has any other filetype is ignored. Some CMS commands create files of particular filetypes, using the
filename you enter on the command line. The language processors do this
as well; if you are recompiling a source file, but wish to save previous
output files, you should rename them before executing the command.
Figure 2 lists the filetypes used by CMS commands and describes how
they are used. Figure 3 lists the filetypes used by CES/DOS commands.
In addition to these CMS filetypes, there are special filetypes
reserved for use by the language processors, which are IBM program
products. These filetypes, and the commands that use them, are: COBOL, SYMDMP, TESTCOB FORTRAN, FREEFORT, FTnn001, TESTFORT PLI, PLIOPT VSBASIC, VSBDATA £9!mgQg§ COBOL, FCOBOL, TESTCOB FORTRAN, FORTGI, FORTHX GOFORT, TESTFORT DOSPLI, PLIC, PLICR, PLIOPT VSBASIC For details on how to use these filetypes, consult the appropriate
program product documentation.

Contains VSAM access method services control
statements to be executed with the AMSERV command. Used by system programmers to generate the 3704/3705 control program.
Contains source statements for assembler
language programs.
Points to files that contain UPDATE control
statements for multiple updates.
Lists files that either contain UPDATE control
statements or point to additional files.
Can contain COpy control statements and macros
or copy files to be added to MACLIBs.
Contains entries for the VM/370 user directory
file. The system operator controls this file.
Can contain sequences of CMS or user-written
commands, with execution control statements.
Contains descriptive information for CP and CMS commands, messages, and menu lists.
Listings are produced by the assembler and
the language processors as well as the AMSERV command.
Contains the listing created during the
generation of the 3704/3705 control program.
Is a library of 3704/3705 control program
load modules created during 3704/3705 control
program generation.
Library members contain macro definitions or
copy files; the MACLIB command creates the
library, and lists, adds, deletes, or replaces
members. The GLOBAL command identifies which
macro libraries should be searched during an
assembly or compilation.
Contains macro definitions to be added to a CMS macro library (MACLIB). Maps created by the LOAD and INCLUDE commands
indicate entry point locations; the MACLIB, TXTLIB, and TAPE commands produce MAP files. L- ___________________________________________________________________________ J Figure 2. Filetypes Used by CMS Commands (Part 1 of 2) Section 4. The CMS File System 47
