General SCF Command Format
General SCF Command Format
An SCF command always begins with a keyword identifying the command (such as,
START, VOLUME, or TRACE). The keyword is followed by the object type and the
object name. Specific information about the format of each SCF command is described
later in this section.
Commands That Have No Object Type or Object Name
If the command pertains only to the current SCF session, the object type is null and
the keyword is followed immediately by whatever additional parameters are required to
specify the action to be taken by SCF. For example, you can enter the SYSTEM
command as SYSTEM \newsys, where newsys is the name of the system that is to
become the default system.
Commands That Have an Object Type and Object Name
If the command pertains to an object, it is followed immediately by the object type and
the object name.
This example aborts the LINE object called $AM1:
-> ABORT LINE $AM1
If additional information is required, you enter a comma after the object name and
specify the parameters for further action to be taken.
This example changes the value of the ATM address attribute for a line:
-> ALTER LINE $AM1, &
atmaddr (isonsap: %h4700dd01272b4a00000000000000000000000100)
When typing several commands using the same object type and object name, you can
use the ASSUME command (described in the SCF Reference Manual for G-Series
RVUs ) to reduce keystrokes.
Commands That Have a SUB Parameter
Many SCF commands permit the use of the command parameters SUB and SEL.
You can use SUB to specify which subordinate objects the command affects. For
example, you might want to abort all the ATM objects subordinate to ATM lines
currently not started. One way to do this action is by using the following command:
-> ABORT LINE $AM1, SUB ALL
