OUTMODE Parameter

Purpose

The OUTMODE parameter lets you specify the output mode of a command.

Values

LINE

If you specify LINE, the output is displayed in line mode, independent of the task type. Further characteristics are:

• No color attributes are set for data that is shown in line mode.
• The sequence of the fields may be different in line mode than in fullscreen.
• Not all fields from the fullscreen display may be shown in line mode.
• Line mode output is shown in a multiline message.
• System operations commands can be issued within a NetView PIPE by using the OUTMODE=LINE parameter, unless noted otherwise in the command description.
• Line mode output is not processed by the NetView automation table and is not written to the netlog. To write output from a command such as DISPSTAT to the netlog, use a PIPE command, for example:

  PIPE NETV DISPSTAT OUTMODE=LINE | LOGTO NETLOG

• Line mode output cannot be processed by a TRAP and WAIT.
• System operations commands that support the OUTMODE=LINE option can be used in user-written command lists. Note, however, that the format of the output may change in later releases.
• If you work with OUTMODE=LINE no prompt panel is displayed.

AUTO

Specifies that when the task that the command list runs on is unattended, the output of the command is written to the NetView log. Otherwise the output is written to the console.

NETLOG

Specifies that the output of the command is written to the NetView log.
