ASSUME Command
/ OUT file-spec /
causes any VHSCI output generated for this command to be directed to the
specified file.
object-type
specifies a keyword that represents the default object type.
object-name
specifies the name of the object that is to be the default object.
Considerations
•
When a VHSCI session begins, the assumed object-type and object-name
are null.
•
If object-type is omitted and object-name is specified, the default object-type
remains unchanged. If an object type is specified and the object name is omitted,
the default object name remains unchanged. If both object type and object name
are omitted, the assumed object type and object name become null.
•
When accessing remote systems, it is recommended that you change the name of
the default system using the SYSTEM command and then assume the object
name.
Examples
The following ASSUME command assigns a VHS process ($VHS) as the assumed
object. The subsequent INFO command gives information about the assumed object.
If entered after the ASSUME command above, the following ASSUME command
replaces the object-name part of the assumed object. The INFO command that
follows displays information about the new assumed process.
