Using a LIB Response File
 Example                                   Up Contents Index Back

     To provide input to LIB with a response file, type:
 
          LIB @responsefile
 
     A response file is a text file containing some or all of the input
     expected by LIB. Specify the response-file name anywhere on the
     command line or at any prompt, preceded by an at sign (@). You can
     specify a full pathname with the filename. A response file lets
     you run the session without typing input.
 
     When you run LIB with a response file, LIB displays prompts
     followed by the input from the response file. If the response file
     does not contain all the expected input and does not end with a
     semicolon (;), LIB prompts for the remaining responses.
 
     Each input field in the response file must appear on a separate
     line or be separated from other fields on the same line by a
     comma. In a response file, a newline is equivalent to pressing
     ENTER in response to a prompt or a comma in a command line. Input
     must appear in the same order as the command-line fields or the
     LIB prompts. You can extend operations to another line using an
     ampersand (&) after a module name or filename.
