Logical File Assignments - Tandem ENFORM 058057 Reference Manual

Logical File
ENFORM allows logical file assignments to be made either before or after the
Assignments
Command Interpreter ENFORM command is entered. When the logical file
assignment is made from within the ENFORM subsystem, use the ENFORM ?ASSIGN
command described in Section 6. When the logical file assignment is made before the
ENFORM command is entered, use the Command Interpreter ASSIGN command to
either associate a physical file with a dictionary record description or to assign some
form of ENFORM output to a generic file.
When ENFORM is used in noninteractive mode, the Command Interpreter ASSIGN
command overrides an ENFORM ?ASSIGN command that is part of the input file.
When ENFORM is used in interactive mode, the ENFORM ?ASSIGN command
overrides any Command Interpreter ASSIGN commands.
The syntax of the Command Interpreter ASSIGN command is:
ASSIGN
record-name
is the name of a dictionary record description.
generic-file-name
is the name of one of the following generic files: QUERY-WORK-AREA, QUERY-
SORT-AREA, QUERY-QPSTATISTICS, and QUERY-QPSTATUS-MESSAGES. All
other names are ignored.
physical-filename
is a fully qualified Tandem file name. Refer to the GUARDIAN Operating User's
Guide for the exact form of a Tandem file name.
exclusion-mode
is either SHARED, PROTECTED, or EXCLUSIVE. The default is SHARED for an
input file. Valid values for generic files are described later in this section.
Refer to the GUARDIAN Operating System Utilities Reference Manual for more
information about the ASSIGN command.
