Using the Break Key
From the BRCOM prompt, the Break key returns you to the HP Tandem Advanced
Command Language (TACL) prompt. To interrupt an operation that is using the
BRCOM terminal:
1. Press the Break key to return to the BRCOM prompt.
2. Enter BRCOM commands to start any operation that does not require use of the
terminal.
3. To return control of the terminal to the original operation, use the PAUSE
command.
Using DEFINEs With Backup and Restore 2
Before you issue a BACKUP command or RESTORE command for a labeled tape, you
must enter a DEFINE from TACL. Table 4-2 lists the different types of DEFINEs.
For more information, see the manuals listed in Table 4-2
Creating and Using a Command File
You can use a command file and the OBEY command to execute one or more BRCOM
commands. For example:
FUP COPY OBRCOM
STATUS JOB ZBRD001DE;
INFO JOB ZBRD001DE;
INFO CONFIG;
You must terminate each command in a command file with a semicolon.
