OPERATING COMMANDS

OBEYSYS Command

The OBEYSYS command sets the default system for expansion of obey

file names. The syntax of the OBEYSYS command is:

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

| |

| OBEYSYS [ \<system-name> ] |

| |

| <system-name> |

| |

| is a GUARDIAN system name. |

| |

| The initial OBEYSYS 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 name 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 an invalid system name or would be an

invalid system name when combined with the current OBEYVOL

setting, ENABLE displays an error message and does not change the

OBEYSYS setting.

Example

The following OBEYSYS command identifies a system named "\sd."

OBEYSYS \sd
