File-Name Expansion Within OBEY files
File names of disk files are represented to subsystem programs by these parts
concatenated into a contiguous string with each part separated from the other by a
period:
\system-name.$volume-name.subvolume-name.disk-file-name
When only a partial file name is supplied as a command parameter, the internal
representation of the file name is expanded into the full four-part file name. As a
minimum, a partial file name must consist of disk-file-name.
Each process and each device, such as a tape drive or printer, is identified in a similar
manner. For example:
\TSB.$TAPE1
might specify a particular tape drive on system \TSB; when operations are already on
that system, only $TAPE1 is required.
A command interpreter for a given user has associated with it a default volume name
and a default subvolume name. File-name expansion is accomplished through the use
of these default names. If the volume name is omitted, the default volume name is
used in its place. If the subvolume name is omitted, the default subvolume name is
used in its place.
The three classes of file-name expansion within SCUP are:
•
Obey file names
•
File names within command parameters
•
Object file names
The initial settings used for file-name expansion are taken from the command
interpreter default settings, that is, the command interpreter VOLUME command. All
file names are kept in the SCUP subsystem in fully qualified network form.
File-Name Expansion Within OBEY files
File-name expansion for file names within an obey file is controlled by the OBEYSYS
and OBEYVOL basic commands. OBEYSYS and OBEYVOL set the default system,
volume, and subvolume names for the OBEY command.
File-Name Expansion Within SCUP Utility Commands
File-name expansion for file names in SCUP utility commands is controlled by the
CMDSYS and CMDVOL commands. CMDSYS and CMDVOL set the default system,
volume, and subvolume names for all SCUP commands other than OBEY. Expansion
of the OUT file name is included in this type of file-name expansion. This file-name
expansion is different from the file-name expansion performed by PATHCOM.
