SET OUTPUT

Redirects output from SDA to the speciﬁed ﬁle or device.

Format

SET OUTPUT ﬁlespec

Parameter

ﬁlespec

Name of the ﬁle to which SDA is to send the output generated by its commands.

The default ﬁlespec is SYS$DISK:[default_dir]ﬁlename.LIS, where SYS$DISK

and [default-dir] represent the disk and directory speciﬁed in your last SET

DEFAULT command. You must specify a ﬁle name.

Description

When you use the SET OUTPUT command to send the SDA output to a ﬁle or

device, SDA continues to display the SDA commands that you enter but sends the

output generated by those commands to the ﬁle or device that you specify. (See

the description of the SET LOG command for a list of differences between SET

LOG and the SET OUTPUT command.)

When you ﬁnish directing SDA commands to an output ﬁle and want to return to

interactive display, issue the following command:

SDA> SET OUTPUT SYS$OUTPUT

If you use the SET OUTPUT command to send the SDA output to a listing ﬁle,

SDA builds a table of contents that identiﬁes the displays you selected and places

the table of contents at the beginning of the output ﬁle. The SET OUTPUT

command formats the output into pages and produces a running head at the top

of each page.
