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 fieldnames in the current path.
- 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.)
WRITECONF homenet, "netname"
