702.0. "how to redirect OPA0: to local printer ?" by ATZIS3::KARTNER_M (HOUSTON, we have a problem) Fri Jun 06 1997 09:16

    Hi!
    
    Is there a way to redirect the Output from OPA0: to a local
    Printerport?
    
    Config:	MICROVAX (no graphics,no motif)
    		local TT port
    
    I found no OPC logical for doing so
    Defining a logical for OPA0: to TTA0: like suggested in an article
    doesn't work.
    
    $ define/system         opc$opa0_enable          true
    $ define/system         OPC$LOGFILE_ENABLE       true
    $ define/system/exec    OPA0:                    TTA0:
    
     systartup_vms.com:
    
    $ set term opa0: /broad /notype /perm
    $ set term tta0: /broad /notype /perm
    
    							thanks
    							Michael

702.1Enabling A Terminal As An Operator...XDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringFri Jun 06 1997 10:3616
    Assuming you are simply looking to redirect OPCOMs -- there are
    some OPA0: messages that cannot be redirected, but redirecting
    OPCOMs is fairly easy...

    If redirecting OPCOMs, enable or disable OPCOMs on OPA0: per
    SYLOGICALS.COM (SYLOGICALS.TEMPLATE), as desired.

    Issue the following commands in SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM

	$ define/user sys$command ttcu:
	$ reply/enable

    Where ttcu: is the broadcast-enabled serial line connected to
    the printer.
