Extend command history

Anonymous — Wed, 06 Jul 2016 14:01:41 GMT

Me again!

I'm wanting to know whether I can extend the number of viewable command lines within the command history (F2)?

I'm wanting to use the "list" command to collect position information about hundreds of objects.

(I've tried data extraction, it won't do what I need).

Any ideas as to how I could achieve this would be super welcome.

Thank you,

Jim,

"I've tried data extraction, it won't do what I need"

Why not? Can you elaborate a little on that?

also, look at running logging temporarily. See LOGFILEON & LOGFILEOFF in help
