More VMS & DCL wish list items



From a thread about finding *THE* log file for a specific batch job:

o We need to have SHOW ENTRY/FULL, and co. be able to display the
explicit, fully qualified filespec of the job's log file, including the
correct version number.


From a thread about MOUNTing and using Joliet format CDs on VMS V7.3-2
and later:

o We need COPY/CONFIRM to allow for renaming the target manually when
the source filespec is totally invalid.

For example:
$ cop dka400:[dnload]*.txt/conf d.d/noconc
COPY DKA400:[DNLOAD]ACSSS_~1.TXT;1 to SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]d.d; ? [N]:

How 'bout allowing, for example:
$ copy/log dka400:[dnload]*.txt/conf d.d/noconc
COPY DKA400:[DNLOAD]ACSSS_~1.TXT;1 to SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]d.d; ? [N]:
=ACSSS_EVENT_LOG.TXT
%COPY-I-COPIED, DKA400:[DNLOAD]ACSSS_~1.TXT;1 copied to
SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]ACSSS_EVENT_LOG.TXT;1
