SAFECOM Session-Control
Commands
The SAFECOM session-control commands establish a working environment for your
SAFECOM session. For example, the SYSTEM and VOLUME commands establish
the default system, volume, and subvolume names that SAFECOM uses to expand
partially qualified disk file names. Similarly, the ASSUME command establishes a
default object class (such as DISKFILE or USER) so that you can enter object-
management commands without specifying the default object class in each command.
Other session-control commands, such as FC and HELP, make SAFECOM easy to
use. HELP lets you check the syntax of SAFECOM commands. FC lets you correct
typing mistakes or quickly enter a number of similar commands that differ by only a few
characters.
Several DISPLAY session-control commands allow you to control the displays
produced by INFO commands. For example, with the DISPLAY DETAIL command you
can turn on the DETAIL option of the INFO command for an entire SAFECOM session.
This section begins with a summary of the session-control commands. The syntax of
each session-control command follows.
Session-Control Command Summary
Table 4-1 on page 4-2 summarizes the SAFECOM session-control commands. The
remainder of this section describes these commands in detail.
