The DISKFILE command routes the output of subsequent DUMPANALYZER commands to the disk output file you specify.

For information on related commands, refer to the following commands in this section:

Syntax

── DISKFILE ─┬─────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────────┤
             ├─ ? ─────────────────┤
             └─<quoted file title>─┘

Explanation

The following text describes the meaning of each construct. Refer to “File Title” earlier in this section for an explanation of the rules for specifying a file title.

DISKFILE

Switches the output mode from remote or printer to the disk file, provided that you previously specified a disk output file. If you did not previously specify an output file, DUMPANALYZER displays an error message.

DISKFILE ?

Returns the name of the current disk output file.

DISKFILE <quoted file title>

Causes DUMPANALYZER to use the specified file title as the disk output file and to route the subsequent output to it. If you already specified a disk output file, DUMPANALYZER displays the following message:

ERROR:  DISK OUTPUT FILE ALREADY EXISTS - <file title>
USE 'RELEASE DISKFILE' COMMAND TO RELEASE THE CURRENT DISK FILE.

See the RELEASE command for information on releasing and saving a disk output file.

Example

The following example shows the way you can switch the output of DUMPANALYZER commands between the terminal and a disk file.

DISKFILE "DUMP/ASDN"     %Assigns DUMP/ASDN as the disk output file.
ASDN 1234                %Output goes to the DUMP/ASDN file.
REMOTE                   %Switches output to remote.
ASDN 1234                %Output goes to the terminal.
DISKFILE                 %Switches output to the DUMP/ASDN file.
ASDN 1234 EXPAND         %Output goes to the DUMP/ASDN file.
RELEASE                  %Releases and saves DUMP/ASDN.
