RDF System Management Manual for H-Series RVUs (RDF 1.8)

Examples
If you issue an EXIT command in response to the RDFSCAN prompt, RDFSCAN terminates the
session and displays a logoff message:
Enter the next RDFscan function you want: EXIT
Thank you for using RDFscan
If you press Ctrl-Y in response to the RDFSCAN prompt, RDFSCAN terminates the session and
displays an end-of-file indication followed by the logoff message:
Enter the next RDFscan function you want: Ctrl-Y
EOF!
Thank you for using RDFscan
FILE
The FILE command selects a file generated by the RDFFLTO filter to which subsequent RDFSCAN
commands apply.
FILE [\system.][$volume.][subvolume.]file
\system
identifies the system on which the file is stored.
$volume
identifies the disk volume on which the file is stored.
subvolume
identifies the subvolume on which the file is stored.
file
identifies the file that you want to examine.
Usage Guidelines
The FILE command allows you to examine a different file than the one your session is currently
accessing. In fact, you can use the FILE command to specify any entry-sequenced file.
When you issue the FILE command, RDFSCAN identifies the file specified as the one to which
subsequent AT, DISPLAY, LIST, MATCH, and SCAN commands in this session apply—the
target file for these commands. This file remains the target file until you specify a new target in
a later FILE command, or until you end the session.
If you enter a FILE command without specifying a file name, RDFSCAN prompts you for this
name by displaying
Enter new filename:
Examples
Suppose you have been examining the file $SYSTEM.GOLDGT.OLDLOG from a session on the
primary node \SANFRAN, but now want to look at another file, NEWLOG, on the same node,
volume, and subvolume. This command closes OLDLOG, switches the target file to NEWLOG,
and opens NEWLOG:
Enter the next RDFscan function you want: FILE NEWLOG
When it receives this command, RDFSCAN displays a message of this format, followed by a
prompt for a new command:
File: $SYSTEM.GOLDGT.NEWLOG, current record: 5432,
last record: 6733
Enter the next RDFscan function you want:
HELP
The HELP command displays the syntax of RDFSCAN commands or introductory information
about the RDFSCAN utility.
