CATALOG Command The CATALOG command opens a Pathmaker catalog for PMADL access.
?CATALOG [ subvolume [ [R]EAD ] ]
subvolume
Specifies the subvolume for the location of the catalog.
The catalog can reside on a remote system if the current release of the Pathmaker
product is installed there. It is not necessary for the catalog to be associated with
an existing project.
If you do not supply a subvolume, PMADL uses the current default subvolume.
R[EAD]
Opens the catalog for read-only access.
If you do not specify R or READ, the CATALOG command opens the catalog for
update access.
Usage Considerations Both the CATALOG command and the PROJECT command can open a Pathmaker
catalog for access by PMADL. If a catalog is previously opened by either command
and you use the CATALOG command, the previously opened catalog is closed and the
current catalog is opened.
Examples The following command opens a Pathmaker catalog on $VOL.DEVELOP:
> ?CATALOG $vol.develop
The following command opens a Pathmaker catalog on the \PARIS node for read only
access:
> ?CATALOG \paris.$sales.project R
