SCF Commands

ASSUME Command
ASSUME Command
The ASSUME command sets the default object type, object name, and target
subsystem for subsequent commands.
OUT file-spec
causes any SCF output generated for this command to be directed to the specified
file. The variable file-spec is defined on page 5-9.
object-spec
designates the object types and object names to become the default for
subsequent commands. The variable object-spec is defined on page 5-2.
SENDTO [subsystem ]
specifies a default subsystem for any subsequent ADD command. The ADD
command is routed to the product module of the target subsystem if the object-
name process specified in the ADD command does not exist. Specifying a
SENDTO subsystem in the ADD command temporarily overrides the current
default subsystem; it does not change the default subsystem for other SCF
commands.
Considerations
•
When an SCF session begins, the assumed object type, object name, and
subsystem have no value.
•
To clear an assumed object type and object name specification, enter an ASSUME
command without any options.
•
To clear an assumed subsystem name specification, enter an ASSUME SENDTO
command without any options.
•
When dealing with a large number of subdevices, you should assume the device
name first; in some cases, this practice can improve response time substantially.
•
A remote object name cannot be assumed.
•
A subdevice cannot be assumed unless a device has been previously assumed.
•
When accessing subdevices remotely, you should change the name of the default
system by using the SYSTEM command (described on page 5-121) and then
assume the device name. In some cases, this practice can improve response time
by a substantial amount.
•
The ENV command (described on page 5-60) displays the current setting of any
assumed object type, object name, or subsystem.
