In response, RDFSCAN displays:
RDFSCAN is a utility for quickly scanning the RDFLOG file. When you run
RDFSCAN it calculates the last-record-number and displays it for you.
You can then selectively list (display) various portions of the file.
You can set the "current-record-pointer" via AT number.
Then you can LIST count records in the file starting
at number. The current-record pointer will be incremented
as you display records so that you can continue listing records
.

The display continues for a total of 44 lines. If the text extends beyond the last line of your terminal
screen, RDFSCAN allows you to continue paging through the display by responding Y to the
prompt:

Performing Routine Operational Tasks
Through RDFCOM and RDFSCAN, you can perform many different RDF functions. Among these
are the routine operational tasks that system operators do from day-to-day. These routine tasks
include:
• Displaying current configuration attributes and operating statistics
• Changing configuration attributes
• Reading RDF messages
Other specialized tasks are described throughout the manual.
Displaying Current Operating Statistics and Configuration Information
While RDF is running, you can obtain both a display of your current RDF configuration and relevant
operating statistics that pertain to each configured entity by issuing the RDFCOM STATUS RDF
