I've been compiling and running some ISSCO/DISSPLA programs using the
CALL REGIS(3,1) subroutine which sends the graphics output (REGIS)
to my vt241 terminal.
I would like to capture these regis commands in a file but our release
of ISSCO subroutines does not allow this. The package does allow one
to create a meta file though, but this gets you no further ahead since
DISSPOP - the program to interpret the meta file - also does not include
the desired feature.
I've tried many experients in redirecting output including:
1. $ @comfile/out=regis.out where: comfile=$ run issco_program
2. $ DEFINE FILE.NAME SYS$OUTPUT
$ RUN ISSCO_PROGRAM
3. $ DEFINE/USER FILE.NAME FOR006
All three experiments yielded the same result: the TEXT diagnostic messages
were captured in the file, BUT NO REGIS COMMANDS.
The one experiment that DID work, was:
$SET HOST/LOG=FILE.NAME 0
which keeps a log of the entire login session. This file DID have the regis
commands in it.
My question is this: what does SET HOST 0 do that the other 3 methods don't?
Has anyone else tried anything like this?
