Features Unavailable in the OSS Environment
Features that are available in the Guardian environment but not in the OSS
environment fall into these categories:
•
ASSIGN Commands
•
PARAM Commands
•
Compiler Directives
•
Process Pairs
ASSIGN Commands
ASSIGN commands are not available in the OSS environment, You can use DEFINEs
for some ASSIGN functions, but because DEFINEs do not accept OSS pathnames,
they cannot perform the ASSIGN function of overriding file assignments made at
compilation time.
PARAM Commands
PARAM commands are not directly available in the OSS environment, but analogous
OSS environment variables exist for the PARAM commands in Table 19-2.
