CMS specifics:

number of information items

directory-id

specifies the identifier that was assigned when the directory was opened by the DOPEN function.

Details

DOPTNUM returns a number that represents the total number of information items available for a given directory-id. Currently, the information item named DIRECTORY is the sole information item available for directories, hence DOPTNUM currently returns a value of 1 for a valid directory-id.

See DINFO for an example that shows the use of DOPTNUM and other functions.
