Using RDFSCAN
Using RDFSCAN
When you use RDFSCAN, you conduct an interactive dialog with it through prompts,
commands, output displays, and messages.
RDFSCAN has two operational restrictions:
•
RDFSCAN does not use command files; you must enter all RDFSCAN commands
from the terminal.
•
RDFSCAN accepts only one command per prompt.
Starting a Session
To start an interactive session with RDFSCAN, enter the RDFSCAN keyword at your
TACL prompt, followed by the name of the entry-sequenced file you want to open. For
example, to begin an RDFSCAN session and open the file $SYSTEM.RDF.MSGLOG
for scanning, enter:
>RDFSCAN $SYSTEM.RDF.MSGLOG
RDFSCAN displays a banner, information about the message file, and a text line that
prompts you for input:
RDFSCAN - T0346A04 - 09DEC02

File: $SYSTEM.RDF.RDFLOG, current record: 9454,
