OPERATING COMMANDS

CMDSYS Command

The CMDSYS command sets the default system for expansion of file

names other than obey file names. The syntax of the CMDSYS

command is:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

| |

| CMDSYS [ \<system-name> ] |

| |

| <system-name> |

| |

| is a GUARDIAN system name. |

| |

| The initial CMDSYS setting is the system in effect when you |

| start ENABLE. |

| |

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Considerations

To set the default system name to the local system, omit the

<system-name> parameter. When this parameter is omitted, ENABLE

uses the local form for file expansion. Use of the local form

allows access to all volume and device names on the system.

When you supply a <system-name> (even if the name of the local

system is specified), ENABLE uses the network form for file name

expansion. Use of the network form makes only volume or device

names having six characters or less accessible.

If <system-name> is either invalid or would be invalid when

combined with the current CMDVOL setting, ENABLE displays an

error message and does not change the current CMDSYS setting.

Example

The following example idendifies "\ny" as the system name for

expansion of file names other than obey files:

CMDSYS \ny
