Keywords and Parameters

Syntax Element | Description
--- | ---
`GLOBAL` | With the `GLOBAL` option, `PRINT SCRIPT` prints the global script named '`script_name`' instead of the local script. If omitted, RMAN looks for a local or global script `script_name` to print. If a local script is found, it is printed. If no local script is found, but a global script `script_name` is found, the global script is printed. See "CREATE SCRIPT" for more details about local and global stored scripts.
`'``script_name``'` | The name of the script to print.
`TO FILE '` `filename` `'` | With `TO FILE` '`filename`' option, `PRINT SCRIPT` sends its output to the specified file instead of standard output.

Examples
