1  @file-spec
   PCA Command

   Executes PCA commands contained in the specified command
   procedure or requests that PCA read subsequent command input
   from the specified file or device.

   Format

     @  file-spec
 

2  Parameters
 

file-spec

   Specifies the command procedure to execute or the device from
   which to read input. File-spec can be any valid OpenVMS file
   specification. If no file type is specified, the default is PCAC
   when in the Collector, and PCAA when in the Analyzer.
 

2  Description
   The @file-spec command causes PCA to read and execute the
   commands contained in the specified command procedure as if the
   commands were entered at the terminal. The command procedure
   may contain any valid PCA commands, including other @file-spec
   commands.

   When PCA executes an EXIT command in the command procedure or
   reaches the end of the file, it returns control to the command
   stream that invoked the command procedure. That command stream
   can be the terminal or a previous command procedure. Command
   procedure nesting is limited to 16 levels.

   If you enter the SET VERIFY command, all commands read from the
   command procedure echo on the terminal.
 

2  Examples

 PCAC> @CMD_FILE.PCAC

     This command reads Collector commands from the file CMD_
     FILE.PCAC until an EXIT command is encountered in the file
     or the end of the file is reached.
