Davis - College of Engineering Lines: 13 I have an application which runs as a detached process and logs messages to SYS$OUTPUT. I would like to be able to look at this file while the application is running. The most straightforward way to invoke the program: RUN/DET/OUT=FILE APPLICATION, results in FILE being exclusively opened by APPLICATION and thus I am unable to TYPE or DUMP FILE. Using various combinations of DCL OPEN to pre-open FILE as shared does not seem to work. Can anyone suggest a simple way to do what I want?
