Library /sys$common/syshlp/HELPLIB.HLB  —  RMU72  Extract  Command Qualifiers, Output
    Output=[out-file]
    Nooutput

    Names the file to which the RMU Extract command writes the data
    definition language (DDL) statements. The file extension defaults
    to .rdo, if you specify the Language=RDO qualifier; .sql, if
    you specify either the Language=SQL or the Language=ANSI_SQL
    qualifier. If you specify the Volume option only, the output file
    type defaults to .pdl. If you specify Load, Security, Verify, or
    Unload only, the output file type defaults to .com. The default
    is SYS$OUTPUT. If you disable the output by using the Nooutput
    qualifier, command scripts are not written to an output file. The
    Log output can be used to determine which features used by the
    database cannot be converted to SQL.

    Using Qualifiers to Determine Output Selection shows the
    effects of the various combinations of the Language and Options
    qualifiers.

             Multischema          Selects SQL multischema naming of
                                  objects.

             Full                 Generates ANSI/ISO SQL92 syntax
                                  supported by SQL.
             Dictionary_          Ignored for ANSI_SQL.
             References
             Nodictionary_        Converts path name references to
             References           the data dictionary to SQL syntax.
                                  This is the default for ANSI_SQL.
             Multischema          Selects SQL multischema naming of
                                  objects.
    Any      Audit_Comment        Adds a comment before each
                                  definition.

                                  definitions, and returns clauses
                                  with SQL data type.
             Filename_Only        Truncates all file specifications
                                  extracted from the database to only
                                  the file name.
             Volume_Scan          Forces a true count of Tables. Only
