VMS Help  —  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.
