IN
filename
specifies the name of a file containing Exchange/RJE commands. If this
option is specified, the command interpreter reads its input from this file.
When the end of the file is reached, and all outstanding send and receive
operations are processed, the command file executes an implicit EXIT; the
Exchange/RJE command interpreter stops and returns control to the operating
system command interpreter. This is an orderly exit and allows Exchange/RJE
to do the necessary cleanup.
This action differs from that of the OBEY command in that the OBEY
command returns control to the Exchange/RJE command interpreter, not the
operating system command interpreter, when the end of the command file is
reached.
Typically, the command file is a standard EDIT-format text file. However, the
command file can be any type of file, including another process. The
maximum length of a line (or record) in the command file is 130 characters.
(For EDIT-format files, the limit applies to the text as you see it in an editor
and not to the actual record length. Records in an EDIT-format file include
control characters in addition to the text, which results in a record length
longer than the length of the text.)
If you omit this option, the Exchange/RJE command interpreter reads its
input from the command interpreter’s input file, which is your terminal if you
are running the Exchange/RJE command interpreter interactively.
NAME [ $
process-name
]
specifies the name you want to assign to the Exchange/RJE command
interpreter process.
process-name
must be from one to five alphanumeric
characters, the first of which must be a letter. If you want the command
interpreter process to be accessible from other systems,
process-name
must
be no longer than four characters.
If you specify NAME and omit $
process-name
, the command interpreter
process is assigned a name by the operating system.
If you omit this option, the command interpreter process is assigned no name
and is identified by its process ID (
cpu
,
pin
).
OUT
filename
specifies the name of the file where the Exchange/RJE command interpreter is
to write its output. All output, including commands you enter through a
command file or a terminal, is written to this file.
If the specified file does not exist, an EDIT-format file is created. If the
specified file does exist, the command interpreter’s output is appended to the
end of the file.
