The Pathname List Views

The most commonly used View option is the:

• Condensed Catalog ("Figure: Pathname List - Condensed Catalog View")—When in the Condensed Catalog view, DSSVue shortens the pathname list by combining pathnames that vary only by the D-part (start date); thus, the D-part of each "condensed" pathname shows the date range of all the records that share the rest of the pathname parts. Each condensed pathname identifies a DSS dataset (which can contain multiple DSS records).

Other Pathname List views available from the View menu include:

• Pathname List ("Figure: Pathname List - Pathname List View")—Displays the pathnames as concatenated strings.

• Pathname Parts ("Figure: Pathname List - Pathname Parts View")—Displays the pathnames in columns by their six parts.

• No Pathnames—the No Pathnames view is useful when you need to open a very large DSS file but do not need to see any pathnames in the Pathname List.
• Unsorted List—like the No Pathnames view, the Unsorted List view is most useful for very large DSS files that could otherwise take a long time to open simply because DSSVue must not only generate the pathname list, it must sort it. This view looks like an unsorted version of the Pathname List view.
