Output Services › Specifying Output Destinations

Specifying Output Destinations

You can specify the output destination, name, and disposition for a COMPILE, RUN, PRODUCE, or PRINT command by appending a destination clause to the command.

You can also establish the destination by executing one of the following tasks:

• Including a SET OUTPUT command with a destination clause in a signon member to affect the defaults for subsequent sessions, including batch CA Ideal jobs.
• Executing a SET OUTPUT command with a destination clause during the current session or batch input stream to affect subsequent COMPILE, RUN, PRODUCE, and PRINT commands only during the current session or batch job.
• Executing a SET OUTPUT SITE OPTIONS command to establish a site default.
• Executing an ALTER OUTPUT command to modify the destination clause.

Example

Assuming that the following SET OUTPUT commands are in the user's signon procedure:

SET OUTPUT DESTINATION LIBRARY
SET OUTPUT DISPOSITION HOLD

The shortened syntax is equivalent to,

COMPILE X

COMPILE X DESTINATION LIBRARY DISPOSITION HOLD
