HP Stage/iX Commands
Parameters
[FILENAME=]filename (required)
Any valid MPE/iX file to which you have READ and WRITE access. If the file doesn't exist, it
is created.
Example
To enable logging and log all input and output to the file “logfilea”, enter:
STAGEMAN> LOG LOGFILEA
OPTION
The OPTION command is used to set various STAGEMAN options. These options effect how
STAGEMAN handles command files (also see the USE command). There are currently two
different options which can be set by the OPTION command.
The LIST option specifies whether or not the command and command output will be
displayed when executing a command from a command file. If the list option is set to
NOLIST, the command will not be echoed and the command output will be suppressed. If
the option is set to LIST, then the command will be echoed and the output will be displayed
to STDLIST (and to the log file if one is active — see the LOG command). The default for the
LIST option is NOLIST. To see the output of a command executed from a command file,
either type OPTION
LIST prior to executing (via USE) that command file, or put an explicit OPTION LIST
command inside the command file.
The CONTINUE option specifies whether or not STAGEMAN will continue to process commands
within a command file if an error is encountered. The default value for the continue option
is NOCONTINUE. If the continue option is set to NOCONTINUE, then STAGEMAN will abort the
processing of a command file when an error occurs. To override this behavior, set the
CONTINUE option to CONTINUE.
If you enter the OPTION command with no parameters, then the command will display the
current value for the LIST and CONTINUE options.
The scope of the option command is for the duration of the command file, or until another
option command is encountered (whichever comes first). For example: if you put an OPTION
LIST command within a command file, the LIST option will remain in effect until
STAGEMAN finishes processing the command file, or until it encounters an OPTION
NOLIST command.
The OPTION command cannot be abbreviated.
Syntax
OPTION [{ LIST}] , [{ CONTINUE}] {NOLIST} {NOCONTINUE}
Parameters
[{ LIST}] (optional) {NOLIST}
If this parameter is omitted, the value of the LIST option is unchanged. Otherwise the
value of the LIST option is set to the value specified.
