6. chicago=USM50-M545>dt / Use dt to change directories. This will take you to the tab directory of a data library. / Note that we will move into the tab directory of usm50 because of the dlib in step 3.
7. chicago=USM50-M545>pwd / Pwd to see where dt (in this instance) takes us.
8. /aleph1/a54_5/usm50/tab / We are in the tab directory of usm50 a.k.a. the data/tab directory. / “Data” refers to the working library (database).

Where to go for troubleshooting

Problem / Directory (shortcut) / File name to VI
1. Batch services – I ran a job from the Services menu, but can’t see any results. / xxxnn/files (df1) / lib_batch_log (look for the batch service by name [p-cir-13] to determine where to find the specific log]

Example:

1. chicago=USM50-M535>vi lib_batch_log
