RDF System Management Manual for J-series and H-series RVUs (RDF 1.10)
]INFO *
In the two OPEN commands above, you do not include a backslash (\) because you are specifying
the RDF control subvolume name (not a system name).
OUT
The OUT command redirects the output of the current RDFCOM session to the specified device or
file.
OUT [\system.][$volume.][subvolume.][file]
system
identifies the system on which the output file is stored.
volume
identifies the disk volume on which the output file is stored.
subvolume
identifies the subvolume on which the output file is stored.
file
specifies the name of the file or device to which RDFCOM is to direct subsequent output.
If you enter the OUT command but omit the file identifier altogether, RDFCOM directs the session
output to the output file or device originally used for the current session.
Where Issued
Primary or backup system.
Security Restrictions
None; anyone can enter the OUT command.
RDF State Requirement
You can enter the OUT command at any time, whether or not RDF has been started.
Usage Guidelines
The OUT command specifies a file to which all subsequent output, other than prompts for entering
RDFCOM commands, is to be written during this session. This file will receive listings produced by
INFO, SHOW, and STATUS commands. The OUT command is often used to establish the destination
command file for the OBEYFORM option of the INFO command.
If the specified output file does not exist, RDFCOM creates an EDIT (file code 101) file with the
designated name and redirects session output to that file. If you specify a disk file that already
exists, this must be an EDIT file; RDFCOM appends its output to that file.
RDFCOM continues to direct session output to the designated file or device until you issue another
OUT command or until you terminate the session, whichever happens first.
If you do not specify an OUT command in your session, RDFCOM directs output to the current
default output destination—usually the terminal from which you issued the RDFCOM command to
start the session.
Examples
Suppose that RDFCOM output is currently directed to the terminal at which you are entering
commands. To temporarily direct an RDF status display to a specific spooler location and then
redirect all subsequent session output back to your terminal, enter the following commands:
]OUT $s.#lp
]STATUS RDF
]OUT
