Measure Reference Manual

OUT
The OUT command directs command output to a specified file. You can use the OUT command to
create a command (OBEY) file based on MEASCOM command output. For example, the output
of the INFO MEASUREMENT command can be used, with little editing, to rerun a measurement.
Syntax
OUT filename
filename
is the name of the listing file. If filename already exists, command output is appended to the
file. If filename does not exist, MEASCOM creates an edit file by that name and sends
command output to it.
Usage Note
If command output is already being sent to another file, that file is closed before the new output
file is opened.
Example
This example directs command output to the file $DATA.MEAS.OUT04. Output from subsequent
commands (such as the ENV command in this example) is not displayed at the terminal.
+ OUT $DATA.MEAS.OUT04
+ ENV
PAGESIZE
In Measure G09 and later PVUs, the PAGESIZE command designates the number of output lines,
including the prompt, to be displayed before the double prompt (++). Many of the entity report
formats exceed the display area of a standard 24-line by 80-column screen. Because displaying
OSS file pathnames can wrap to several lines of text, the length of many entity report formats
varies. To prevent data from scrolling off the display area before it is read, use the PAGESIZE
command to set a double prompt (++).
MEASCOM also presents a double prompt (++) between individual reports when a group of reports
is displayed. The double prompt (++) between reports is not affected by the setting of PAGESIZE
and continues to exist between reports.
Syntax
PAGESIZE [ integer ]
integer
is a value from 6 through 128. When specified, integer - 1 lines of report are displayed followed
by the double prompt (++). If no value is set, the default value of 128 is used, and double
prompts (++) are displayed only between individual reports.
Usage Notes
• To continue with the display of report data, press ENTER.
• To terminate the display and return to the main MEASCOM prompt, press the BREAK key or
enter Ctrl-Y.
• The PAGESIZE command has no effect on reports listed to a spooler or disk output file.
• These warning or error messages might appear with this command:
3053 Value out of range; value must be 6:128.
