HELP Command The HELP command displays a list of the Exchange/RJE commands or the syntax of
individual commands.
H[ELP] [ command ]... [ OU[T] output-file ]
command
is an Exchange/RJE command or the abbreviation for one. If you omit this
parameter, a list of all Exchange/RJE commands is displayed. If you specify one
or more individual commands, the syntax of each specified command is displayed.
OU[T] output-file
specifies the name of the file where you want to write the output of the HELP
command. If you omit this parameter, the default file is the file specified in the
OUT option of the RJECIR command that started the Exchange/RJE command
interpreter. If you omitted the OUT option in the RJECIR command and you are
running the command interpreter interactively, the default file is 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 FUP CREATE
command to create the file. The HELP 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 HELP command displays a list of the Exchange/RJE commands or the syntax of
individual commands. The output of the HELP command can be displayed on your
terminal (the default action) or sent to a file (including printers).
The HELP command provides information on syntax only. For detailed information
on the operation of Exchange/RJE commands, see this manual.
Examples 1. The following example writes a list of all Exchange/RJE commands to the spooler
location #RJECMDS.
>HELP OUT $S.#RJECMDS
2. The following example displays the syntax of the SEND and RECEIVE commands
on the terminal.
