Parameters

envID An environment ID—that is, a character string

representing a speciﬁc session on a remote node. For

NS names, the environment name itself may optionally

portion of the string may have a maximum of 16

alphanumeric characters (including underscores and

hyphens), of which the ﬁrst must be alphabetic. The

default domain and organization names are those

speciﬁed for your local node when it was conﬁgured as

part of its NS 3000/iX network. For ARPA domain

names, the environment ID has the syntax

label[.label[...]. The labels must follow the

syntax for ARPANET host names. Refer to ARPA

Domain Name Syntax in Chapter 1, “Introduction to

NS 3000/iX,” for more details.

If the envID is not equated with a node name, it must

refer to a previously deﬁned environment. If it is

equated to a node name, it then represents a session on

that node. If the nodename is used by itself, it then

becomes its own environment ID, representing a

particular session on that node. If envID, nodename, and

envnum are all omitted in the beginning of the command

line (before HELLO), the environment information must

be given in the ;DSLINE= option at the end of the

command line or the default environment will be
