OBEY Command
The OBEY command specifies an input file to EMCOM. Each record read from the
OBEY file is written to the home terminal. If an error is detected in the OBEY file, an
error message is sent to the home terminal and all further processing of the OBEY file is
halted. EMCOM then prompts the home terminal for the next command.
file-name
specifies the name of the file to be used as input.
Considerations
OBEY files cannot contain nested OBEY commands. If a nested OBEY command is
detected, an error message is generated and processing of the OBEY file is stopped.
Examples
OBEY STARTEM
O STARTUP.EMCONFIG (Shortened form of the command)

OBEYSYS Command
The OBEYSYS command sets a default system name to be used in the expansion of
OBEY file names. The initial setting for OBEYSYS is the current default system name
passed to EMCOM by TACL. If system-node is omitted, the default OBEYSYS system
name is reset to NULL.
system-node
specifies a system name to be used as the default name. If system-node is omitted,
the default OBEYSYS system name is reset to NULL.
