Executing the Statements From a TACL Prompt

The catalog utility statements are described in the following subsections, but to use

them you need the information presented in this subsection.

Executing the Statements From a TACL Prompt

You execute the statements by running the NOSCOM program from the TACL prompt.

The general syntax of NOSCOM is:

statement

specifies a catalog utility statement listed in Table 7-3. Specify object names in

Guardian format. The syntax of the individual statements is described later in this

section.

Example

The following statement executes the USERCAT INSTALL statement:

NOSCOM USERCAT INSTALL \test.$vol2.persnl

Other NOSCOM Commands

NOSCOM is a command-line interpreter from which you can execute NonStop ODBC

Server catalog utility statements. Other commands supported by NOSCOM are

modeled after commonly used TACL commands. For more information about these

commands, see the TACL Reference Manual.

EXIT

The EXIT command terminates your NOSCOM session. QUIT and EXIT are

equivalent.

The FC command enters you into FC input mode, marked by the >>> prompt. In FC

input mode, you can re-display, modify and then re-execute a previous command. If

you type only FC at a NOSCOM prompt, NOSCOM displays the last command

executed, followed by the >>> prompt. If you type FC followed by an alphabetic

character, NOSCOM displays the most recent command of the last ten executed that

begins with the alphabetic character. If you use the HISTORY command to identify a

previously executed command by number, you can type FC command-number to

modify that command.

While in FC input mode, the characters “i”, “d”, and “r” have special significance. To

insert text at a particular point in the command string, enter the character “i” on the

input line at that point, immediately followed by the text to insert. To delete one or more

characters, enter “d” on the input line beneath each character to delete. To replace
