Introduction
1.2 Entering Commands
or, when several commands are to be entered at the RTR prompt:
% rtr
RTR> start rtr
RTR> create journal
Note
For convenience, the user prompt for the operating system is shown here
as the ‘‘%’’ symbol. Your system may have a different prompt.
The RTR CLI accepts commands that you type and can process procedures
consisting of RTR commands.
Most RTR commands accept qualifiers: these are indicated by the forward slash
(/) character. For example, many RTR commands accept the ‘‘/OUTPUT’’ qualifier;
it directs the output from the command to a file.
The forward slash (/) character may also appear in the filenames of some
operating systems; such filenames must be enclosed in quotation marks to ensure
that RTR does not interpret the filename as a command qualifier.
When RTR commands are entered on a single line, you may need to use extra
quotation characters, depending on the operating system in use. For example,
when running on most UNIX platforms, additional single quotation marks are
required when entering quoted items such as filenames. Compare the following
commands.
% rtr
RTR> show facility/output="/usr/users/test/fac_output.lis"
% rtr show facility/output=’"/usr/users/test/fac_output.lis"’
The first command works for OpenVMS systems but not on UNIX. The second
command uses single quotation marks outside of double quotations to be correctly
interpreted on UNIX systems.
1.3 Online Help
You can get information about the RTR CLI by using the HELP command.
Entering the following command:
% rtr help
displays a complete list of help topics on your terminal.
If you require additional information then enter the topic directly on the same
line, for example:
% rtr help show
The help command can also be used to find out about errors returned by RTR.
The folowing sequence returns the error identifier:
% rtr help errors
