Considerations
If the OBEYSYS command is not issued, the default settings in effect when
DNSCOM was started are used. If the system is omitted, the default is set for local
name expansion. Note that this is not the same as specifying the local system
name: issuing OBEYSYS without the system option permits references to long
device names that are prohibited in network-form file names.
If the specified system name is invalid, or would be invalid when combined with
the current OBEYVOL setting, an error occurs. An error message is displayed, and
the OBEYSYS setting is not changed.
