Remote File Access
FILE Command
$BACK indicates that the file resides one “hop” back
toward your local system. This is legal only if the FILE
command is issued in a remote session created by a
REMOTE HELLO. The $BACK specification is equivalent
to DEV=# (without an environment name). In either
case, the file is accessed through the existing session.
filereference The actual name of the file in the form:
file[/lockword][.group[.account]].
filedomain The file domain: NEW or OLD or OLDTEMP.
envname An unqualified environment ID. The maximum length
is 8 alphanumeric characters. A previously defined
environment ID is permitted in the DEV= option, but
the domain and organization qualifiers are not
permitted and the name may not be longer than
8 characters.
device The logical device name or number of a device such as a
disc, tape, printer, or terminal. Default: DDISC. If the
DEV= option appears, it must be followed by at least one
parameter (which can be just #).
outpri The output priority requested for a spooled device file.
This a value between 1 (lowest priority) and 13 (highest
priority).
numcopies The number of copies requested for a spooled output
device file (maximum 127).
VTERM Specifies that the Reverse Virtual Terminal service
should be employed instead of Remote File Access. This
option applies only if the designated device is a remote
terminal. VTERM allows a local application program to
perform I/O to remote terminals located on systems
that support Reverse Virtual Terminal. (See “Reverse
Virtual Terminal” in the chapter on “Virtual Terminal”
and “Remote Terminal Access: VT vs. RFA” later in this
chapter.)
envfile A name representing a file containing laser printer
environment information, which controls printing
output formats. This name may be an actual file
reference or a formal file designator (preceded by an
asterisk).
option Any valid option in the MPE/iX FILE command. For
further information, see the MPE/iX Commands
Reference Manual.
