You can use this statement to send the report to a standard output location or to a separate file on the computer where the utility runs. You can specify up to four report locations by including multiple REPORTDEST statements in the utility input. As a best practice, include REPORTDEST statements at the beginning of the command.

Use the following syntax:

REPORTDEST LOG|STDERR|STDOUT|
file_name

The REPORTDEST statement accepts the following options:

LOG

Send report output to the PowerExchange log (detail.log). The report prefixes each line in the log with a time stamp and process ID.

STDERR

Send report output to the stderr file. This option can be used on Linux, UNIX, and Windows to pipe the output to a file in addition to stdout, as shown in the second example.

STDOUT

Send report output to the stdout file. Use this option on Linux, UNIX, and Windows to view the utility progress a command window.

file_name

Send the output to a file on the local computer. Specify this option to write a permanent copy of the report to a file.

Default is

LOG

.

Examples:

If you run DTLURDMO Linux, Unix, or Windows, you can review the utility progress in a command window and write the report to a file for later review. The following example shows how to specify those locations:

REPORTDEST stdout; 
REPORTDEST c:\reports\MyDTLURDMO_ini_report.txt;

If you run DTLURDMO on Linux, Unix, or Windows, you can redirect the output to a file. The following example shows how to use piping to specify a report location.

In the input file C:\INIS\MYDTLURDMO_ini, specify the following report destinations:

REPORTDEST stderr;

When you run the utility, use the following syntax to redirect the output to the

MyDTLURDMO_ini_report.txt

file:

DTLURDMO.EXE C:\INIS\MyDTLURDMO_ini >c:\reports\MyDTLURDMO_ini_report.txt;
