File Format

Attribute names are case-insensitive and made up of alphanumeric characters. The

attribute name must be the first non-blank character in the line. You cannot rename

attributes that are included in the file.

Names must be separated from their corresponding values by at least one blank. The

syntax of the attribute values varies; the specific syntax of each attribute value is

described in the PMDEFLT file description. Attribute values can contain spaces

between lexical units.

You cannot break a line between an attribute and its value or break a line within the

attribute value.

Comments are designated by double hyphens (--). The double hyphen must be the

first nonblank characters in the line.

Blank lines are included for readability and are ignored by PMINSTAL.

-- Set this value to a subvolume which contains a release of

-- Pathway that is compatible with this release of Pathmaker.

-- Specify the same subvolume for the program files in the

-- process definitions of SCOBOL and SCUP, below.

PathwaySubvol $SYSTEM.SYSTEM The syntax for changing the default Pathway subvolume is:

PathwaySubvol $volume.subvolume

where $volume is the name of an existing disk volume and

subvolume is a valid Guardian 90 subvolume name. You

cannot specify a system name.

Whenever you change the Pathway subvolume, you must

also change the process definitions for Screen COBOL and

SCUP to refer to the same subvolume.

-- Set this value to a subvolume which contains a release of

-- Enform that is compatible with this release of Pathmaker.

-- Specify the same subvolume for the program files in the
