How to Customize the
Panel Search Path
The NCLCOMP command allows you to individually compile panel description files
and place them in an object file of your choice. The file must have the same
subvolume as the distributed panel object file; this file can then be included in a
customized panel search path.
Using the NCLCOMP command, you can:
Create a new panel object file
Add a new panel object to the file
Overwrite an existing panel object in the file by an updated object
Delete an existing panel object from the file
Refer to the NonStop NET/MASTER MS Command Reference Manual for further
information about using the NCLCOMP command.
Having created a new panel object file, the SYSPARMS PNLOBJPATH command
allows you to specify the file in a list that augments the panel search path. The panel
object files are searched in the order specified.
For example, to specify two panel object files in addition to the distributed panel object
file, use the following command:
SYSPARMS PNLOBJPATH=($DATA.ZNNMPDS.PCODE,
$DATA.ZNNMPDS.PNLOBJ1,
$DATA.ZNNMPDS.PNLOBJ2)
Using this example, the customized panel search path is:
1. User panel library
2. System panel library, which includes the following:
a. Customized panel library
b. Distribution panel library
3. Panel object file, $DATA.ZNNMPDS.PCODE
4. Panel object file, $DATA.ZNNMPDS.PNLOBJ1
5. Panel object file, $DATA.ZNNMPDS.PNLOBJ2
By specifying the files in a different order, you can change the order of searching files
for panel description files. The additional files are searched in the order specified
following the search of the distribution panel library.
Refer to the NonStop NET/MASTER MS System Management Guide for more information
on customizing the panel search path.
