FILE
FILE
The FILE command selects a file generated by the RDFFLTO filter to which
subsequent RDFSCAN commands apply.
\system
identifies the system on which the file is stored.
$volume
identifies the disk volume on which the file is stored.
subvolume
identifies the subvolume on which the file is stored.
file
identifies the file that you want to examine.
Usage Guidelines
The FILE command allows you to examine a different file than the one your session is
currently accessing. In fact, you can use the FILE command to specify any entry-
sequenced file.
When you issue the FILE command, RDFSCAN identifies the file specified as the one
to which subsequent AT, DISPLAY, LIST, MATCH, and SCAN commands in this
session apply—the target file for these commands. This file remains the target file
until you specify a new target in a later FILE command, or until you end the session.
If you enter a FILE command without specifying a file name, RDFSCAN prompts you
for this name by displaying
Enter new filename:
Examples
Suppose you have been examining the file $SYSTEM.GOLDGT.OLDLOG from a
session on the primary node \SANFRAN, but now want to look at another file,
NEWLOG, on the same node, volume, and subvolume. The following command
closes OLDLOG, switches the target file to NEWLOG, and opens NEWLOG:
Enter the next RDFscan function you want: FILE NEWLOG
FILE [\system.][$volume.][subvolume.]file
