/OUTPUT=output-file
/NOOUTPUT
Determines whether EDT creates an output file at the end of
your editing session. The default file specification for both
the input file and the output file is the same. Use the /OUTPUT
qualifier to give the output file a different file specification
from the input file.
The following command line invokes EDT to edit a file named
MEMO.DAT and gives the resulting output file the name OUTMEM.DAT:
$ EDIT/OUTPUT=OUTMEM.DAT MEMO.DAT
You can include directory information as part of your output file
specification to send output to another directory as follows:
$ EDIT/OUTPUT=[BARRETT.MAIL]MEMO.DAT MEMO.DAT
The /NOOUTPUT qualifier suppresses the creation of an output
file, but not the creation of a journal. If you decide that you
do not want an output file, you can use the /NOOUTPUT qualifier
as follows:
$ EDIT/NOOUTPUT MEMO.DAT
A system interruption does not prevent you from re-creating your
editing session because a journal is still being maintained. To
save your editing session, even when you specify /NOOUTPUT, use
the line mode command WRITE to put the text in an external file
before you end the session.
No wildcard characters are allowed in the file specification.
