The DNSCOM Commands

Example
ADD SSOBJECT $LINE4.#TERM22, TYPE LU, ALIASES TERM22
See “Creating a Sample Database” in Section 4 for more examples of adding subsystem
object s.
Considerations
When defining a subsystem object, the TYPE attribute must have a creation value
established either by using SET SSOBJECT commands or as parameters to the
ADD SSOBJECT command.
If the specified subsystem-object type is defined with HASMANAGER ON, then
MANAGER must have a creation value similarly established.
If the specified subsystem-object type is defined with HASMANAGER OFF, then
MANAGER may not be specified in the ADD SSOBJECT command; any creation
value for MANAGER previously established through use of the SET SSOBJECT
command is ignored.
The FORMAT attribute for the type of object being added is used to validate
ssobject . If ssobject is not valid for the indicated format, an error message is
generated and the object is not added.
If EXTERNAL is ON, ssobject must also be a valid alias name (see “Defining Alias
Names” in Section 4); if the object name is not a valid alias name, the
corresponding alias cannot be added.
If FORMAT is one of the following, then DNSCOM expands ssobject using the
specifications from the most recent NAMESYS and NAMEVOL commands.
