Command File Operation
To stop a BIND process, type EXIT at the Binder prompt:
This returns you to TACL. You can press CTRL/Y instead of typing the EXIT
command.
For examples of and details on commands, see Section 3, BIND Commands.
Command File Operation
When you manually start a BIND process, you can specify an optional command file,
an optional listing file, or both. The command file controls the process so you do not
need to enter commands interactively. The listing file receives all listing output from the
BIND process.
The syntax for specifying the command file and listing file in the BIND command is:
IN command-file
specifies the file containing BIND commands. If you omit this parameter, Binder
prompts the current input file of the command interpreter, normally the home terminal.
OUT listing-file
specifies the file to receive output listings. If you omit this parameter, output is directed
to the current output file of the command interpreter, normally the home terminal.
command
is any BIND command. If you specify one or more commands, Binder executes those
commands and terminates without opening or reading the command file.
Examples
This subsection provides examples of running Binder in various ways.
•
In the following example, Binder reads commands from the file BINDTAL and
directs its output listing to the home terminal:
@EXIT
2>
BIND [ / IN command-file / ]
[ / OUT listing-file / ]
[ / IN command-file, OUT listing-file / ]
[ command [ ; command ] ... ]
Note. Binder complies with the TACL ASSIGN messages that override the default
characteristics of the IN and OUT files, such as record length. For a description of ASSIGN
messages, refer to the Guardian Procedure Errors and Messages Manual
