RDFSCAN filename
RDFSCAN
is an implicit RUN command, instructing the TACL command interpreter to run the RDFSCAN
utility program.
filename
specifies the entry-sequenced file to be opened.
Using RDFSCAN
When you use RDFSCAN, you conduct an interactive dialog with it through prompts, commands,
output displays, and messages.
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:
RDFSCAN - T0346A06 - 14MAR04
(C)1988 Tandem (C)2004 Hewlett Packard Development Company, L.P.
File: $SYSTEM.RDF.RDFLOG, current record: 9454,
last record: 9466
Enter HELP ALL for instructions
Enter the RDFSCAN function you want:
To begin an RDFSCAN session and open the file $SPOOL.SANFRAN.RDFLOG for scanning,
enter:
>RDFSCAN $SPOOL.SANFRAN.RDFLOG
RDFSCAN displays the following:
RDFSCAN - T0346A06 - 14MAR04
(C)1988 Tandem (C)2004 Hewlett Packard Development Company, L.P.
File: $SPOOL.SANFRAN.RDFLOG, current record: 7346,
last record: 8967
Enter HELP ALL for instructions
Enter the RDFSCAN function you want:
To request an RDFSCAN operation, enter the corresponding RDFSCAN command (described
next in this discussion) at the prompt.
Ending a Session
To terminate the RDFSCAN session, issue the EXIT command or type Ctrl-Y.
Using RDFSCAN Commands
To request an RDFSCAN function, you enter a corresponding RDFSCAN command, selected
from the list in Table 4-4. All of these commands are unrestricted; they can be entered by any
user.
