Modify the OPTIONS table module.

2: Change the STDERR TERMINAL to PRINTER2 (any name is ok except PRINTER and TERMINAL, which are reserved)
Example;
******** A part of a ezoptbl.def. ****************
STDERR PRINTER2
STDOUT TERMINAL
**************************************************
3: Add PRINTER2 definition like this(Last one).
Example;
********* A part of a ezoptbl.def. **************
XREF N
PRINTER PRINTER F 132 58 SYSPRINT
PRINTER TERMINAL T 132 58 N N N
PRINTER PRINTER2 F 132 58 SYSERROR
**************************************************
Must match the name "PRINTER2" to the name defined in step 2. Any names can be specified as the last parameter, SYSERROR, which will be the sysname for the error log.
4: Recreate OPTIONS table by issuing etopload command as follows.
C:\Program Files(x86)\CA\Easytrieve\bin>etopload -b <ezoptbl.def
The command shows the new settings, confirm the settings have done as follows.
STDERR PRINTER2
STDOUT TERMINAL
(... Omitted ....)
XREF N
PRINTER PRINTER F 132 58 SYSPRINT
PRINTER TERMINAL T 132 58 N N N
PRINTER PRINTER2 F 132 58 SYSERROR
5: By this option set, he can assign an error-log-file to sysname of SYSERROR as follows.
C:\Users\|xxxxxxxx\Desktop\EZT sample> set SYSERROR=error.log
Additional Information
In the Configuration Manager, only "TERMINAL" or "PRINTER" can be selected from the pulldown menu. So, if you want to change the destination of the STDERR to something other than the "TERMINAL" and "PRINTER”, you need to change the OPTIONS table.
