*NO SDWIS*
This message will only
be
displayed
if
the
"AU
option
is
in
effect
and
if an invalid RIB is
found for a file.
The message
is
displa~ed
in
place
of the segment descriptor information that
appears to the
right
of
the
entire
director~
entT'Y.
When such a message is seen!
it
indicates
that the rile has probably been
damaged.
Since
no
segment descriptors
a~e
round in the RIB, the
file will not
be
accessible
any
longer.
The
REPAIR
command
(Chapter
22)
should be used to
check the remainder of the diskette, as
well
as
to remove the
er~oneous
file.

on
the command
line.

a
rile's RIB has
been

It
indicates
that
the
terminator
was
missing
from the RIB.
The
allocation information displaqed for the file
is
meaningless
since
56
segment
descriptors have
been displayed.
The

accessible.
The

(Chapte~

When the DIR command is invoked without
any
options on a
newly
received system disketteJ
this is what will be seen on
the system console:
=DIR
DRIVE: 0
DISK I.D.
: MDOS0300
NO
DIRECTORY ENTRY FOUND
=
A new
system
diskette has only file
names
with
the
attribute.
Those
file
names
will
be
excluded
"systemll
from the
directory search unless the US" option is
specified.
Thus,
the
default
family
*. *:0
(since
no
<name/
was
specified)
contains no members.
Using
the
US"
option
on
the
above
example would result in" the following display:
