OPERATING COMMANDS
VOLUME Command
VOLUME Command
The VOLUME command sets the default volume and subvolume for
expansion of all file names. The syntax of the VOLUME command
is:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| VOLUME { $<volume> } |
| { $<volume>.<subvolume> } |
| { <subvolume> } |
| |
| <volume> |
| |
| is a GUARDIAN volume name. |
| |
| <subvolume> |
| |
| is a GUARDIAN subvolume name. |
| |
| The initial VOLUME setting is the volume and subvolume in |
| effect when you start ENABLE. |
| |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Considerations
If you omit $<volume>, ENABLE uses the current volume setting.
If you omit <subvolume>, ENABLE uses the current subvolume
setting.
If you omit both, and the file from which the OBEYVOL command was
read is not a disc file, ENABLE displays an error message and the
VOLUME setting remains unchanged.
A VOLUME command is equivalent to entering both an OBEYVOL and a
CMDVOL command with the same specification. Note that this does
not necessarily mean that the settings for OBEYVOL and CMDVOL
would be identical following a VOLUME command. If, for example,
the default value for OBEYVOL is:
$v1.a
and the default value for CMDVOL is:
$v2.b
