OUTPUT 

                         [,NEW   ]
OUTPUT [output filename] [,PURGE ]
                         [,APPEND]
Use the OUTPUT command to open and, if necessary, to create an extracted
log file in which to write extracted SCOPE(XL) records.  If you do not
provide an output file name, EXTRACT assumes it is RXLOG.

The optional second parameter specifies the action to be taken if an
output file with the same name exists.

NEW          (Specifies that the output file must be a new 
             file.)  This is the default action in batch
             mode.  If a file with the same name exists, the
             batch job terminates.

PURGE        (Specifies that any existing file should be 
             purged to make room for the new output file.)

APPEND       (Specifies that an existing Performance 
             Collection Software extracted file has data 
             appended to it.)  If no file exists with the
             output file name specified, a new file is
             created.

If you do not specify an action, the default action NEW will be used (in
batch mode), or you will be prompted to enter an action if a duplicate
file is found (in interactive mode).


NOTE  This command is not used with the EXPORT command.
