TYPE
The following example displays a BASIC program on the terminal, then deletes
it from DU1:
.TYPE/DELETE DU1:PROG1.BAS
/INFORMATION
Changes the severity level of the error message that displays when not all of the
input files you specified are found. If you do not use /INFORMATION, RT–11
displays an error message when it is unable to find an input file, and execution
halts after the command is processed. When you use /INFORMATION, RT–
11 displays an informational message to tell you which files it cannot find, but
execution continues.
In the following example, the input files FILE1.TXT and FILE3.TXT are
displayed. However, since RT–11 is unable to find DL0:FILE2.TXT, RT–11
displays a message to inform you:
.TYPE/INFORMATION DL0:(FILE1,FILE2,FILE3).TXT
?PIP-I-File not found DL0:FILE2.TXT
/[NO]LOG
/LOG displays on the terminal the names of the files that were displayed by the
current command. Normally, RT–11 displays a log only if there is a wildcard in
the file specification. If you specify /QUERY, the query messages replace the log,
unless you specifically type /LOG/QUERY in the command line.
The following example shows a TYPE command and the resulting log:
.TYPE/LOG OUTFIL.LST
Files copied:
DK:OUTFIL.LST to TT:
/NOLOG prevents a list of the displayed files from displaying on the terminal.
You can use this option to suppress the log if you use a wildcard in the file
specification.
/NEWFILES
Displays only those files that have the current date. The following example shows
a convenient way to display all new files after a session at the computer:
.TYPE/NEWFILES *.LST
Files copied:
DK:REPORT.LST to TT:
/QUERY
Causes RT–11 to request confirmation before it performs the operation. /QUERY
is useful on operations that involve wildcards, when you may not be sure which
files the system selected for an operation. Note that if you specify /QUERY in a
TYPE command line that also contains a wildcard in the file specification, the
confirmation messages displayed on the terminal replace the log messages that
would normally appear.
