READCONF
Reads selected data from the current configuration record.
Syntax
READCONF fieldname [;FORMAT]
Parameters
fieldname The field name associated with the current path.
Use READALLCONF;FORMAT to find the filename.
FORMAT Designates output formatting. Output is formatted
in a WRITECONF format so that it can be re-entered
into NMMGR's maintenance mode. If the format
option is omitted, data will be formatted with one
field per line when writing to a file.
Description
READCONF reads and displays the selected field in the configuration
record identified by the current path. If the current path is associated
with a multipaged data screen, then the displayed value is from the
current page set by PAGECONF.
You must enter the CARDCONF, then the PATHCONF command before using the
READCONF command. This defines the pathname of the record from which the
data will be read. If you want READCONF to display the data written in
the previous WRITECONF commands, you must first enter the UPDATECONF
command.
If you are referencing a DTC card screen, you must use the CARDCONF
command to set the current card number before issuing the READCONF
command.
Output is directed to the file defined in the file equation FORMLIST. If
FORMLIST is not defined, output is sent to $STDLIST.
CAUTION The output should first be sent to a file, then the entire file
should be printed. Otherwise, if output is sent directly to a
printer, each READCONF command will generate a separate spool
file, resulting in only one field printed per page.
Example
To display the first field in the NETXPORT.NI.GLOBAL screen:
NMMGR>PATHCONF NETXPORT.GLOBAL (Sets the path to the screen.)
NMMGR>READCONF HOMENET;FORMAT (Reads and displays the named field.)
