Command Descriptions
Event Management Service (EMS) Analyzer Manual–133700
5-36
OUT
/OUT file-spec/
causes any EMS Analyzer output generated for this command to be directed to the
specified file.
file-spec
specifies the file commands are to be read from.
NOECHO
suppresses the echo of each line executed in the OBEY file. Use this option when
speed is important.
Considerations
•
If the file-spec is not fully qualified, the name is expanded using the default
values supplied by the SYSTEM and VOLUME commands.
•
FC, HISTORY, PAUSE, exclamation point (!), and question mark (?) commands
cause an error if they are encountered in an OBEY file.
•
OBEY file processing stops when the number of allowed errors or warnings is
exceeded. The number of allowed errors and warnings is set by the ALLOW
command.
•
OBEY commands can appear within OBEY files. OBEY files can be nested to a
depth of ten. If a depth of ten is exceeded, the file is not executed and an error
message displays.
•
Commands are read considerably faster when NOECHO is specified. However, in
this case, only error messages are returned, not the command lines that caused the
errors.
•
The menu-driven mode of the HELP command cannot be invoked from an OBEY
file. The HELP command entered by itself from an OBEY file produces the HELP
ALL help text.
