Logical File Names
You can change your current default values in various ways:
•
You can change the volume and subvolume with the VOLUME command of, for
example, the Binder, Inspect, and TACL products.
•
In some cases, you can specify node (system), volume, and subvolume names by
issuing TACL ASSIGN SSV commands, described later in this section.
Logical File Names
You can use a logical file name in place of the disk file name. A logical file name is an
alternate name you specify in a TACL DEFINE or TACL ASSIGN command, described
later in this section.
Internal File Names
The C-series operating system uses the internal form of a file name when passing it
between your program and the operating system. The D-series operating system uses
the internal form only if your program has not been converted to use D-series features.
For information on converting external file names to internal file names in a program,
see the Guardian System Programmer’s Guide and the Guardian Procedure Calls
Reference Manual.
