Partially Qualified Disk-File Names
Examples
=INFO DISKFILE \tops.$data.stats.rpt1
=INFO DISKFILE \sfo.$users1.nelson.rpt*
=ALTER DISKFILE \sys*.$ops?.*.quarter2, OWNER 86,2
=ADD DISKFILE \pts.$*.stats.*, OWNER admin.bob
=INFO /OUT safelist/ DISKFILE \*.$*.*.*
Partially Qualified Disk-File Names
In a partially qualified disk-file name, one or more of the system, volume, and
subvolume names is omitted. When you specify a partially qualified disk-file name,
SAFECOM uses the current default system, volume, and subvolume names to create a
fully qualified disk-file name.
\system-name
is a valid system name. If omitted, the current default system name is used.
$volume
is a disk volume name. If omitted, the current default disk volume name is used.
subvolume
is a disk subvolume name. If omitted, the current default subvolume name is used.
disk-filename
is the name of a disk file.
When you run SAFECOM, your command interpreter passes the current default
volume and subvolume names to SAFECOM. SAFECOM uses these defaults as your
initial session defaults. During your SAFECOM session, you can change the default
volume and subvolume through the VOLUME command.
However, your command interpreter does not pass your current default system name
to SAFECOM. The initial default system name for SAFECOM is the name of the
system on which SAFECOM is running. To change the default system name during a
SAFECOM session, use the SYSTEM command. For more information, see Section 4,
SAFECOM Session-Control Commands. This example shows a partially qualified disk-
file name:
=SYSTEM \london
=VOLUME $data.sales
=INFO DISKFILE report1
SAFECOM then uses the default system, volume, and subvolume names to create this
fully qualified disk-file name:
\LONDON.$DATA.SALES.REPORT1
[\system-name.][$volume.][subvolume.]disk-filename
