Example:

       $ MUPIP EXTRACT /NOLOG FL.GLO
       

This command instructs EXTRACT to create the global output file, FL.GLO, (which consists of all global variables in the database) without displaying statistics on a global-by-global basis. Because no label is specified, the first record in FL.GLO contains the text string "GT.M MUPIP EXTRACT."

Example:

       $ INIT MSA0: SPECIAL
       $ MOUNT/INIT=CONT/BLOCK=4104 MSA0: SPECIAL
       $ MUPIP EXTR/FO=BIN/SEL=("a2",M:Z)/LAB="SPSAVE" MSA0:SP.SVX
       

In this example, the first command initializes a magnetic tape with the label SPECIAL. The second command mounts the tape with OpenVMS automatic volume initialization and a block size of 4104. The magnetic tape block size of 4104 handles a database block of 4096 bytes. The MUPIP command instructs EXTRACT to create a BINARY output file, SP.SVX, with the label SPSAVE. Since the value of the /SELECT qualifier is enclosed in parentheses the file contains all globals in the database, except those inside the parentheses. In other words, the file contains all globals except ^a2, and those globals starting with the letters M through Z. EXTRACT displays statistics for each global.

Example:

       
            $ MUPIP EXTRACT/SELECT=DRG TT
       
       
         

This instructs EXTRACT to dump the global ^DRG to the device with the logical name TT (normally the login terminal).

The first record of a BINARY format data file contains the header label. The header label is 87 characters long. The following table illustrates the components of the header label.
