RDF System Management Manual for J-series and H-series RVUs (RDF Update 13)

RDFSCAN has two operational restrictions:
• RDFSCAN does not use command files; you must enter all RDFSCAN commands from the
terminal.
• RDFSCAN accepts only one command per prompt.
Starting a Session
To start an interactive session with RDFSCAN, enter the RDFSCAN keyword at your TACL prompt,
followed by the name of the entry-sequenced file you want to open. For example, to begin an
RDFSCAN session and open the file $SYSTEM.RDF.MSGLOG for scanning, enter:
>RDFSCAN $SYSTEM.RDF.MSGLOG
RDFSCAN displays a banner, information about the message file, and a text line that prompts you
for input:
