This is more like it. I was puzzled by your response stating that it had worked. You are using csh. The redirection code brouw005 used would work in sh, ksh, or bash, but not csh. Writing scripts in csh is not wise. Since you're new to Unix, you should start with a better shell. For a list of reasons, see
Csh Programming Considered Harmful. One more reason: there are very few csh experts around to help you.
I think that:
) >& logfile
might work for you. But no money back guarantees. I switched to ksh as soon as I could and I don't remember csh very well.

VMSPREP(LOCAL) VMSPREP(LOCAL)
NAME
vmsprep - VMS tape preperation aid
SYNOPSIS
vmsprep [-] [name ...]
DESCRIPTION
Vmsprep traverses hierarchies of files and prepares them for transportation to VMS. Since ANSI stardard tapes (the VMS standard) do not
allow hierarchy, this program provides a method of flattening the hierarchy onto a tape in such a way that it can be unpacked on VMS to
recreate the same tree structure.
For reasons best not described here, vmsprep will attempt to exclude all RCS and SCCS archives by ignoring all files or directories named
'RCS' or 'SCCS', or files starting with 's.' or ending in ',v'.
The output of vmsprep is a pair of files vmsprep.namelist and UNPACK.COM. vmsprep.namelist is a list of files to be placed on the tape in
the format required by ansitape. If the first argument is '-' instead of a file or directory name, vmsprep will instead send the namelist
to standard output, and place UNPACK.COM in /tmp to avoid attempting to write in the current directory. All of the files except UNPACK.COM
will be placed on the tape under cryptic names. UNPACK.COM is a VMS command script which will recreate all of the necessary directories
and then move the cryptically named files to their proper place.
A typical sequence would be:
vmsprep - tree1 tree2 file | ansitape cln trees -
Then on a VMS machine
mount MFA0: trees
copy MFA0:*.*.* *
@UNPACK
FILES
vmsprep.namelist
UNPACK.COM
DIAGNOSTICS
A warning is reported if a file or directory name contains a character not permitted in VMS names. The offending character is replaced by
'Z' and vmsprep continues.
SEE ALSO
ansitape(l)
BUGS
Extra periods in file names may not be dealt with optimally.
All files and directories to be moved must be descendants of the current working directory. Absolute path names and paths containing ".."
will produce unpredictable results.
Since vmsprep uses find(1) internally, it does not follow symbolic links.
The exclusion of RCS and SCCS files should be controlled by a command line flag.
Assumes VMS v4.0 or greater for long file names.
