Entering a FUP Command
run-options
are any of the available options for the TACL RUN command. They must be
separated from each other by commas, and enclosed on the command line with
slashes (/). Although each option is available when you run FUP from the TACL
prompt, only one (the OUT run option) is also available within FUP. These run
options are used most often with the FUP process:
IN filename
names a disk file, nondisk device, or process from which FUP reads
commands. Any IN disk file that you specify must be an EDIT file, unstructured
file (132 byte records), or Enscribe-structured file. You cannot specify an SQL
file as an IN disk file.
If you omit this option, FUP uses the IN file name that is in effect for the current
TACL process— usually the home terminal.
OUT listfile
names a nondisk device, process, or a disk file to which FUP directs its listing
output (unless you use the OUT option of a subsequent FUP command to
direct the output somewhere else). You must use a Guardian file name, a
SPOOL DEFINE, or MAP DEFINE as the OUT list file to run FUP. Any
specified OUT disk file must be an EDIT file, unstructured file, or Enscribe-
structured file. You cannot specify an SQL file as an OUT disk file. You can use
this option to specify output to a TACL variable.
If you omit this option, FUP uses the OUT list file that is in effect for the current
TACL process—which is usually the home terminal.
If listfile does not exist, FUP creates it as an EDIT file with a maximum
record length of 132 characters.
If listfile does exist, FUP appends output to it.
If listfile is an unstructured disk file, each of its records is 132 characters
long, and any partial lines are blank-filled to column 132.
For a description of using a SPOOL DEFINE for listfile, see Using
DEFINEs With FUP on page 1-21.
command
is a FUP command. You can enter only one FUP command in a TACL command. If
you need additional screen space to enter the command, end the command line
with an ampersand (&) and press RETURN. Continue the command on the next
line at the new TACL prompt.
If you type FUP followed by command, the FUP process terminates after executing
the command and returns control of the terminal to TACL.
