Parameter

filespec[,...]

   Specifies one or more files to be listed. The syntax of a file
   specification determines which files will be listed, as follows:

   o  If you do not enter a file specification, the DIRECTORY
      command lists all versions of the files in the current default
      directory.

   o  If you specify only a device name, the DIRECTORY command uses
      your default directory specification.

   o  Whenever the file specification does not include a file name,
      a file type, and a version number, all versions of all files
      in the specified directory are listed.

   o  If a file specification contains a file name or a file type,
      or both, and no version number, the DIRECTORY command lists
      all versions.

   o  If a file specification contains only a file name, the
      DIRECTORY command lists all files in the current default
      directory with that file name, regardless of file type and
      version number.

   o  If a file specification contains only a file type, the
      DIRECTORY command lists all files in the current default
      directory with that file type, regardless of file name and
      version number.

   The asterisk (*)  and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters
   can be used in the directory specification, file name, file type,
   or version number fields of a file specification to list all
   files that satisfy the components you specify. If you specify
   more than one file, separate the file specifications with either
   commas (,)  or plus signs (+).


directory-spec

   Specifies the standard DECnet remote file specification. Use
   a quoted file string to preserve the case (for case sensitive
   systems such as UNIX) and to identify a foreign device/directory
   specification. See the /FTP qualifier for more information.
