HELP SECTION
PRTMSG
Type: verb
Use: Prints contents of message file including log of input
commands and messages produced by AIPS and by tasks shed
by AIPS. This verb no longer deletes the messages.
Please use CLRMSG to keep your message files small.
Adverbs:
PRIORITY....Limit print to message having priority >= PRIORITY
Message level 0 (user inputs) is also printed when
PRIORITY <= 5.
PRNUMBER....Selects the AIPS number of the messages to be
printed. 0 => your current one, -1 => all. See
HELP PRNUMBER for some details.
PRTASK......Selects the programs whose messages are to be
printed. Any program name whose first characters
match the first non-blank characters of PRTASK
will be selected. Thus, PRTASK = 'UV' will cause
the messages of UVMAP, UVSUB, UVCOP, etc. to be
printed. ' ' => all tasks by this rule.
NOTE: messages from GO, INPUTS, and all other
verbs are messages from AIPS not from any other
associated task.
PRTIME......Only messages younger than PRTIME days will be
printed. <= 0 => all times printed.
DOCRT.......False (<= 0) use the line printer if OUTPRINT = ' '
else write named OUTPRINT file only.
With the file, DOCRT=-2 suppresses the page-feed
character in the header lines. DOCRT=-3 suppresses
the header lines except at the start.
True (> 0) use the terminal interactively. The task will
use the actual terminal width as a display limit
unless 72 < DOCRT < width. In that case, the display
limit will be DOCRT characters.
OUTPRINT....Disk file name in which to save the line printer output.
' ' => use scratch and print immediately for interactive
jobs - batch jobs use OUTPRINT = 'PRTFIL:BATCHjjj.nnn'
(jjj= job #, nnn = user #). When OUTPRINT is not blank,
multiple outputs are concatenated, and the file is not
actually printed.
