Hello, I want to write the System Output in an file and the System Errors in an another file. I write the following code: DEFINE SYS$ERROR "syserr.txt" DEFINE SYS$OUTPUT "sysout.txt" But it write the system errors in syserrorfile("syserr.txt) and in sysoutput file(sysout.txt) too. Can you say me, how can I solve that problem? Thanks im behaviur.

Can You give more details on the commands You see this behaviour ? On my system DCL commands do what is expected, they separate error/standard output (like "show sys", or an unknown command). There might be different utilities doing it different. It seems that e.g. programs written in DECC output in both sys$error and sys$output if doing printf to stdout, as do TCPIP services.

I have to correct my statement about DECC and TCPIP: on my system they also work correctly, separate standard output and error output. Could You show us which command or program does misbehave like You reported ? Joseph Huber, http://www.huber-joseph.de http
