?ASSIGN Command
The ?ASSIGN command can be used to assign the generic Enform Plus files to a
physical device. In the following example, the generic file QUERY-COMPILER-
LISTING is assigned to a printing device named $ep:
?ASSIGN QUERY-COMPILER-LISTING TO $s.#ep
The ?ASSIGN command can be used to change the exclusion specification for a file; the
default is SHARED. If the DDL physical file name is not being overridden, only the
record name and the exclusion specification need be specified. For example:
?ASSIGN employee,,SHARED
When Enform Plus is run interactively, an ?ASSIGN command overrides a TACL
ASSIGN command entered before the ENFORM command. When Enform Plus is run
with a command file providing the input, however, a TACL ASSIGN command entered
before the ENFORM command overrides an ?ASSIGN command in the command file.
