ENFORM Reference Manual

?ASSIGN Command
Commands
6–4 058057 Tandem Computers Incorporated
The ?ASSIGN command can be used to assign the generic ENFORM 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 is run interactively, a ?ASSIGN command overrides a Command
Interpreter ASSIGN command entered before the ENFORM command. When
ENFORM is run with a command file providing the input, however, a Command
Interpreter ASSIGN command entered before the ENFORM command overrides a
?ASSIGN command in the command file.
