Command Overview
OBEY
The OBEY command executes a series of commands entered in a command file.
system
identifies the system on which the command file is stored.
volume
identifies the disk volume on which the command file is stored.
subvolume
identifies the subvolume on which the command file is stored.
file
identifies the command file, which contains one or more valid RDFCOM
commands.
Where Issued
Primary or backup system.
Security Restrictions
None; anyone can enter the OBEY command.
RDF State Requirement
You can enter the OBEY command at any time, whether or not RDF has been started.
Usage Guidelines
If you omit system, volume, or subvolume, RDFCOM uses the defaults in effect
when RDFCOM was started.
A command file can contain other OBEY commands, nested up to four levels deep.
RDFCOM reads the commands in the command file until it reaches an EXIT command
or the end of the file:
•
If it encounters an EXIT command, RDFCOM closes the command file, terminates
the RDFCOM session, and passes control back to the TACL command interpreter.
•
If it encounters the end of the file, RDFCOM closes the command file and reads its
next command from the file from which it read the OBEY command.
