Running the PIDU program using the pidu command

To run the PIDU program you can enter the pidu command from the z/OS® UNIX Systems Services command line. Name the file that contains the Printer Inventory definition statements created by the migration program as input to the pidu command.

The PIDU program writes a report of its processing to stderr. By default, stderr is directed to the terminal. In most cases you should redirect this output to a file by using the UNIX redirection symbol ( 2> for stderr).

For example, if you entered the following command from the z/OS UNIX System Services command line to direct the Printer Inventory definition statements to a file named defs:

    aopmig ... >defs 2>aopmig.rept 

Then, enter the following pidu command and specify the defs file as input:

    pidu <defs 2>pidu.rept
