Examples
To display the syntax of the LOG command, enter the HELP LOG command:
Enter the next RDFscan function you want: HELP LOG
In response, RDFSCAN displays:
LOG filename
LOG allows you to echo to filename the records
displayed via LIST. If filename does not exist, an
EDIT file is created for you.
File: $SYSTEM.SANFRAN.RDFLOG, current record: 9454,
last record: 9466
Enter the next RDFSCAN function you want:
LIST
The LIST command displays a specified number of log messages that contain the current match
pattern.
LIST number
number
is the maximum number of log records to be shown.
Usage Guidelines
If you omit the number of records to be listed, RDFSCAN prompts you:
Enter count to list:
The search begins at the current record (the record number specified in an immediately preceding
AT command).
If pattern matching is enabled, the LIST command examines the file until RDFSCAN finds the
specified number of matches or encounters the last record, whichever happens first. RDFSCAN
displays all messages within that range that contain the current match pattern.
