Use the ISPF shell (ISHELL) to perform the following functions on UNIX files: - Copy a PDS or PDSE to a UNIX directory. - Copy a UNIX directory to a PDS or PDSE. - List files in a directory. - Create, delete, or rename directories, files, and special files. - Browse, edit, and copy files. - Display file attributes. - Search files for text strings. - Compare files or directories. - Run executable files. - Display information about symbolic links. - Mount and unmount a hierarchical file system. - Create an HFS data set or other UNIX file. - Set up character-special files. - Set up directories for a root file system. - Set up users and groups for z/OS UNIX access.
