Description
The DIR command displays filenames in the current directory and path (see SET PATH) matching the specified <skeleton>. The total number of files matching the <skeleton>, their total size and the remaining drive space in Megabytes are also displayed.

- DES3 Encryption status, i.e. (DES3) if table is encrypted
- Number of Records
