ALTER Command
ALTER Command
The ALTER command changes the values of the attributes of an existing object. This
command changes only the specified attributes of the specified object or objects.
This command is sensitive.
OUT file-spec
causes any SCF output generated for this command to be directed to the specified
file. The variable file-spec is defined on page 5-9.
object-spec
designates the objects whose attributes are to be altered. The variable object-
spec is defined on page 5-2. You can omit object-spec if it has been assumed.
(See ASSUME Command on page 5-36.) The objects and attributes that can be
altered depend on the subsystem.
LIKE object-name
identifies an object whose attribute values serve as a model for the new values of
the attributes of the object being altered. The variable object-name must specify
an existing object of the same type.
attribute-spec
is a specification of an attribute and a value to be assigned to it. If the LIKE syntax
is used, attribute-spec overrides the setting derived from the LIKE object for
that attribute. The variable attribute-spec is defined on page 5-7.
Consideration
Some subsystems require that attributes be changed only when the object is in a
specific state, such as the STOPPED state for the Kernel subsystem.
