BROWSE Command
The BROWSE command invokes the VISTA Online Report Viewer for a subset of spool files from
within NBSpool. The BROWSE command executes in two stages. First the subset of spool files are
processed for viewing, then the VISTA Online Report Viewer is invoked. You can then view any
reports specified in the subset.
The BROWSE command creates a temporary VISTA folder named VISTATMP, which can be re-
examined by entering BROWSE with no parameters. This re-invokes VISTA without recreating
the folder file. You can also permanently save the VISTATMP folder. For example, to save the
temporary folder under the name STDLISTS, type:
O> :RENAME VISTATMP,STDLISTS,TEMP
O> :SAVE STDLISTS
