These two semi-verbs do not have OUTPRINT as an adverb - do an INPUTS 
BDFLIST and you will see.  The log file from BDFLIST and BDF2AIPS goes 
into the $HOME area and contains what you want.  These programs are in 
obit and we are just lucky to have access.  I cannot add options in a 
simple way and Ihave tried to keep the access straightforward.  You can 
move the files from $HOME after the fact, but the aips verbs need to 
have a predictable and simple place for the run and log in order to 
execute the obit programs.
