When extracting a file with the -yank
parameter, PROLIB discards everything but the filename from the file's
pathname. For example, if you added a file using the pathname /usr/apps/proc1.r, PROLIB discards /usr/apps from the pathname and places proc1.r in your current working directory.
This is the syntax for the PROLIB command to extract files
from a procedure library using the -yank parameter:
| Operating system | Syntax |
|---|---|
| UNIX Windows |
|
- library-name
-
Specifies the name of the procedure library with the file you want to extract.
- file-name
-
Specifies the name of the file. You can specify more than one file at a time.
