filespec
Specifies the file to be created or edited using the TECO editor. If
the file does not exist, it is created by TECO, unless you specify the
/NOCREATE qualifier. The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard
characters are not allowed in the file specification.
If you specify the /MEMORY qualifier (default) without a file
specification, TECO edits the file identified by the logical name
TEC$MEMORY. If TEC$MEMORY has no equivalence string, or if the
/NOMEMORY qualifier is specified, TECO starts in command mode and does
not edit an existing file.
If you specify the /MEMORY qualifier and a file specification, the file
specification is equated to the logical name TEC$MEMORY.
argument
See the /EXECUTE qualifier.
/COMMAND[=filespec]
/NOCOMMAND
Controls whether a startup command file is used. The /COMMAND file
qualifier may be followed by an equal sign (=) and the specification of
the command file. The default file type for command files is .TEC.
The following command line invokes TECO to edit a file named MEMO.DAT
and specifies that TECO use a startup command file named XTECOINI.TEC:
$ EDIT/TECO/COMMAND=XTECOINI.TEC MEMO.DAT
|
If you do not include the /COMMAND qualifier, or if you enter /COMMAND
without specifying a command file, TECO looks for the TEC$INIT logical
name assignment. If TEC$INIT is not defined, no startup commands are
executed.
The logical name TEC$INIT can equate either to a string of TECO
commands or to a dollar sign ($) followed by a file specification. If
TEC$INIT translates to a string of TECO commands, the string is
executed; if it translates to a dollar sign followed by a file
specification, the contents of the file are executed as a TECO command
string. For further information, see the Standard TECO Text Editor
and Corrector for the VAX, PDP-11, PDP-10, and PDP-8 manual. This

To prevent TECO from using any startup command file, use the /NOCOMMAND
qualifier as follows:
$ EDIT/TECO/NOCOMMAND MEMO.DAT
|
The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters are not
allowed in the file specification.
/CREATE (default)
/NOCREATE
Creates a new file when the specified input file cannot be found. If
the /MEMORY qualifier is specified and no input file is specified, the
file created is the one specified by the logical name TEC$MEMORY.
Normally, TECO creates a new file to match the input file specification
if it cannot find the requested file name in the specified directory.
When you use the /NOCREATE qualifier in the TECO command line and type
a specification for a file that does not exist, TECO displays an error
message and returns you to the DCL command level. The /CREATE and
/NOCREATE qualifiers are incompatible with the /EXECUTE qualifier.
/EXECUTE=command-file [argument]
Invokes TECO and executes the TECO macro found in the command file. The
argument, if specified, appears in the text buffer when macro execution
starts. Blanks or special characters must be enclosed in quotation
marks (" "). For detailed information on the use of TECO
macros, see the Standard TECO Text Editor and Corrector for the
VAX, PDP-11, PDP-10, and PDP-8 manual. This archived manual is on
the OpenVMS documentation website:

The /EXECUTE qualifier is incompatible with the /CREATE and /MEMORY
qualifiers.
/MEMORY (default)
/NOMEMORY
Specifies that the last file you edited with TECO, identified by the
logical name TEC$MEMORY, will be the file edited if you omit the file
specification to the EDIT/TECO command.
/OUTPUT=output-file
/NOOUTPUT (default)
Controls how the output file is named at the end of your editing
session. By default, the output file has the same name as the input
file but is given the next higher available version number. Use the
/OUTPUT qualifier to give the output file a file specification
different from the input file.
The following command line invokes TECO to edit a file named MEMO.DAT
and gives the resulting output file the name OUTMEM.DAT:
$ EDIT/TECO/OUTPUT=OUTMEM.DAT MEMO.DAT
|
You can include directory information as part of your output file
specification to send output to another directory as follows:
$ EDIT/TECO/OUTPUT=[BARRRET.MAIL]MEMO.DAT MEMO.DAT
|
The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters are not
allowed in the file specification.
/READ_ONLY
/NOREAD_ONLY (default)
Controls whether an output file is created. By default, an output file
is created; the /READ_ONLY qualifier suppresses the creation of the
output file.
In this example, the /EXECUTE qualifier causes the TECO macro contained
in the file FIND_DUPS.TEC to be executed, with the argument string
"TEMP, ARGS, BLANK" located in the text buffer.
