I originally had in FSV FILELIST a file called FSLOOKUP EXEC which was stored with identifier 00000006 FSV. Subsequently I deleted it with LSVPUT (DELETE. Indeed, file 00000006 FSV is gone from LSV's 200 disk. But the following still is present in FSV FILELIST: FSLOOKUP EXEC ALL CTL . . 0 ........ ........ Directory The relevant entries in FSV FILLID are as follows: 28 *DEFAULT* X5/200 GETLOG FSLOOKUP EXEC 00000006 FSV F5/200 GETLOG (GETLOG is a LSV GET logger.)
