1.1 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=filespec] /NOOUTPUT Controls where the output of the command is sent. If you do not enter the qualifier, or if you enter the /OUTPUT qualifier without a file specification, the output is sent to the current process default output stream or device, identified by the logical name SYS$OUTPUT. If you enter the /OUTPUT qualifier with a partial file specification (for example, specifying only a directory), SHOW is the default file name and .LIS is the default file type. The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters are not allowed. If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.
