VHS Run-Time Options

The following subsections present some file-specific considerations that you should be

aware of before using VHS.

VHS ASSIGNs

You can customize the VHS server to your specific requirements with a set of run-time

options. These run-time options can be modified by editing the VHS startup file created

during the installation process.

Table 2-7 lists each ASSIGN used by VHS.

VHS Conversational Interface Help and Error Text File

The VHSTEXT file contains help text and error messages for VHSCI. This file should

be located in the same subvolume as VHSCI. If you want VHSTEXT to be located on a

different subvolume from the VHSCI program, you can use an ASSIGN command to

tell VHSCI to read the VHSTEXT file from another subvolume.
