STATUS Command The STATUS command displays statistics about all send and receive operations
performed during the current connection.
ST[ATUS] [ O[UT] output-file ]
O[UT] output-file
specifies the name of the file where you want to write the output of the STATUS
command. If you omit this parameter, output is written to the file specified in the
OUT option of the RJECIR command that started the Exchange/RJE command
interpreter. If you omitted the OUT option on the RJECIR command and you are
running the command interpreter interactively, the output is displayed on the
home terminal.
If you specify a disk file (as opposed to a spooler location, for example), the file
must already exist. It must be an unstructured file. You can use the TACL
CREATE command to create the file. The STATUS command writes to the file in
80-byte records.
If you omit the volume name, the default volume is your current default volume.
If you omit both the volume and subvolume names, the default volume and
subvolume are your current default volume and subvolume.
Line Activity None.
Considerations The STATUS command displays statistics about all send and receive operations
performed during the current connection. The statistics are reset to zero by a
DISCONNECT command.
The statistics for transmitted records include all records written to the underlying
communications subsystem, even if those records were not actually transmitted to the
remote system. For example, each attempt by Exchange/RJE to bid for the line is
counted as a transmitted record even if the bid is unsuccessful. It is possible that the
STATUS command statistics shows several transmitted records even though no
connection was ever established with the remote system.
The Exchange/RJE command interpreter must be connected to a line server before you
can use the STATUS command. If the command interpreter is not connected to a line
server, an error message is displayed. Use the CONNECT command to connect the
command interpreter to a line server.
