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 target object. This is a sensitive
command.
Considerations for the ALTER Command
•
The SEL and LIKE options are not supported.
•
Wild cards are not supported at the subdevice level.
•
There are no summary state changes associated with the ALTER command.
•
For most line and subdevice attributes, the ALTER command can be used only
when the LINE or SU object is in the STOPPED summary state. An exception is
the line attribute DEBUG, which can be altered when the LINE object is in the
STARTED summary state. NOTE: The DEBUG attribute is provided for HP use
only; customers should always leave DEBUG OFF.
•
After you alter a line with the ALTER command, use the INFO command to verify
the attributes, then restart the line with the START command.
•
Some attributes are dependent on other attributes. When one attribute is altered,
its related attribute must also be altered. For example, when XLATEIN or
XLATEOUT is used, TRANSLATE must be ON.
For a LINE object, if CHARACTERSET is EBCDIC, then CONTROLSET must be
EBCDIC and TRANSLATE must be ON. If CHARACTERSET is ASCII, then
CONTROLSET must be ASCII and TRANSLATE must be OFF. All will be modified
by the subsystem if only one is modified
For an SU object, the line attribute TRANSPARENT must be ON and
CHARACTERSET must be EBCDIC before the SU object attribute
TRANSPARENT can be altered to ON.

Command Syntax for the ALTER Command
The ALTER command has the following syntax:
OUT file-spec
causes any SCF output generated for this command to be directed to the specified
file.
ALTER [ / OUT file-spec / ] [ LINE line-name | SU su-name ]
{ , attribute-spec }...
