4 Using SCF
This section describes how to start SCF, how to control its input and output files, and
how to enter SCF commands.
You can start SCF in interactive mode by using the TACL RUN command or in
noninteractive mode by using a command file (or TACL macro or routine). The TACL
RUN command used to start SCF is described on the next page. SCF commands are
described in Section 5.
SCF can accept input from a terminal or a disk file. You can change the input source
dynamically by using the SCF OBEY command. These capabilities are described in
further detail under Input Sources on page 4-7.
SCF can direct output to a disk file, a terminal, or a printer. You can change the output
destination dynamically for a single command, a series of commands, or an entire SCF
session. These capabilities are described in further detail under Output Destinations
on page 4-8. The following topics are discussed in this section.
