SCF Object Lists
$template
is any string of characters denoting the name of one or more objects. The
first character must be an alphabetic character, an asterisk, or a question
mark. The second, and any subsequent characters, can be any alphabetic
or numeric character, an asterisk, or a question mark. See the description
of template characters in the TACL Reference Manual for a more detailed
explanation.
The asterisk (*) and question mark (?) characters are called wild-card
characters. The asterisk denotes any number of characters; the question
mark denotes any single character. Support for wild-card characters in
object names is defined by the subsystem.
subdevice
is the name of a subdevice (for example, a terminal or printer) of a data
communications device (for example, a communications line). The
characteristics of a communications subdevice are as follows:
•
SCF allows a subdevice name to be as many as 1024 characters long, but
some subsystems may restrict a subdevice name to fewer characters.
•
A subdevice name must contain at least one character and can contain any
printable character except:
comma (,) semicolon (;) closing parenthesis ())
blank ( ) single quotation mark (') double quotation mark (")
•
A subdevice name can begin with a period (.) which, subsequently, is not
duplicated in the expanded object name.
•
A subdevice name not preceded by a device name cannot begin with an
opening parenthesis (().
•
A subdevice name not preceded by a device name or an object type
cannot begin with an alphabetic character.
•
A subdevice name not preceded by a device name and starting with a
pound symbol (#) replaces an assumed subdevice name.
See Effect of the ASSUME Command on Subdevice Specification on page 5-6
for some helpful examples of subdevices.
"subdevice"
is the name of a communications subdevice, as defined under subdevice,
enclosed in quotation marks. Any printable characters can be used.
#gpname
is the name of a generic process controlled by the Kernel subsystem. The
characteristics of a generic process name are like those of a subdevice,
