SCF Object Attributes and Their Values
An object controlled by SCF has a set of attributes that identify the characteristics of
that object. Each attribute has an associated set of values it can take. Default values
exist for many attributes. You can use the INFO command to display the current
attribute values for any object.
The syntax for some SCF commands includes the attribute-name variable, which
indicates that the name of an object attribute must be specified. When the variable
attribute-spec appears in the syntax, both the name of and a value for the
attribute are required.
The syntax of attribute-spec is shown below.
attribute-name
is a string of one or more characters. The first character must be alphabetic.
Subsequent characters can be any printable alphanumeric or special character
except an embedded blank. The names of attributes are subsystem-specific.
attribute-value
is the value associated with attribute-name. The data specified here is
subsystem-specific.
This syntax is used to assign a new value to an attribute. For example, RETRIES 5
assigns the value 5 to the RETRIES attribute. Both attribute-name and
attribute-value are subsystem-specific and object-specific.
Regardless of the particular command or subsystem, certain types of values are
entered in a standard way. The standard forms for entering character strings, integers,
and time values are described on the following pages.
-> INFO XYZ invalid entry (A subdevice name not preceded by a device
name cannot begin with an alphabetic character.)
-> INFO #XYZ translates to -> INFO SU $ABC.#XYZ
-> INFO @XYZ translates to -> INFO SU $ABC.#DEF.@XYZ
-> INFO .XYZ translates to -> INFO SU $ABC.#DEF.XYZ
-> INFO 3 translates to -> INFO SU $ABC.#DEF.3
-> INFO TASK XYZ translates to -> INFO TASK $ABC.#DEF.XYZ
