NBEXEC Syntax Summary
NBEXEC Syntax Summary
This subsection provides a quick reference to NBEXEC command and variable syntax.
The table includes the syntax of the TACL RUN command that runs the NBEXEC
program.
Command to Run NBEXEC
[ RUN ] [ \node. ] [ volume. ] NBEXEC / NAME [ $process-name ] ,
IN file-name ,
OUT [ list-file ] [ , run-option ]… / [ , program-parameter ]…
program-parameter is one of these run parameters:
A[PPEND]
specifies that NBEXEC is to append output to list-file if the file exists.
Omitting APPEND causes NBEXEC to overwrite list-file.
B[ACKUPCPU]{ cpu-number -1 }
specifies the backup CPU for an NBEXEC process that is to run as a NonStop
process.
cpu-number specifies any available CPU but must not specify the same CPU as
that of the executor under which the NBEXEC process runs.
-1 specifies the highest-numbered available CPU.
I[D] { job-ID T[ERM] }
ID job-ID specifies a job identifier that appears in list-file. job-ID can
contain up to eight alphanumeric characters, but the first character must be
a letter.
ID TERM causes NBEXEC to emulate a physical terminal rather than a process.
L[ABEL] label
causes NBEXEC to begin processing of file-name at the specified label in the
file.
L[IMIT] [ h] h:[ m] m
specifies a time limit (range 00:00 through 99:59) for the NBEXEC job.
P[URGE]
causes NBEXEC to purge list-file if the job terminates successfully.
