SAFECOM Session-Control Commands

SYSTEM Command
SYSTEM Command
SYSTEM establishes a default system name. SAFECOM uses the default system
name to expand partially qualified file names that do not include a system name.
When you first run SAFECOM, the name of your local system is used as the initial
default system name.
SYSTEM
entered without \system-name, sets the default system name to the name of the
system you are currently using.
\system-name
is a valid system name to be used as the default for subsequent SAFECOM
commands.
Considerations
•
The SYSTEM command has no effect on user names because the system name is
not part of a user name. For example, if you execute an INFO USER command
after executing a SYSTEM command for a remote system, you still get information
on the local user.
•
To display your current default system name, use the ENV SYSTEM command.
For example:
=ENV SYSTEM
SYSTEM \LA
Example
This example uses the SYSTEM command in a sequence of commands:
=ENV SYSTEM -- Displays the default
SYSTEM \NY system name, \NY
=SYSTEM \LA -- Establishes a new
default system name
=ENV SYSTEM -- Displays the new
SYSTEM \LA default system name, \LA
=ASSUME DISKFILE -- Establishes DISKFILE as
the default object class
SYSTEM [ \system-name ]
