The DNSCOM Commands

SYSTEM The SYSTEM command sets the default system for expansion of any file names.
SYSTEM [ \

\
system
is a Guardian 90 system name.
If the SYSTEM command is not issued, the default settings in effect when DNSCOM
was started are used. If the system name is omitted, the default is set for local file
name expansion. Note that this is not the same as specifying the local system name.
Omitting the system name permits references to long device names, which are
prohibited in network-form file names.
A SYSTEM command is equivalent to entering both an OBEYSYS and a CMDSYS
command with the same specification.
If the specified system name is invalid, or would be invalid when combined with the
current OBEYVOL setting, an error message is displayed and the SYSTEM setting is
not changed.
