ALTER
COLORTABLE ON | OFF
specifies the PCT colortable for PCs running PC6530 revision C or higher. The
COLORTABLE ON option causes SeeView to automatically reload the PCT
colortable when SeeView goes through I/O recovery. The PCT colortable is
reloaded with the contents of the SeeShell global variable #ZZCOLORTABLE.
The default is OFF, but it is automatically turned on by the standard SeeShell when
SeeView is running from a PC with PC6530 revision C or higher.
DATATIMEOUT seconds
specifies the default timeout value in seconds assigned to user tasks declared
with the OPEN or TASK statements.
A DATATIMEOUT occurs when the arrival rate between messages from a process
exceeds the specified number of seconds. DATATIMEOUT occurs only after data
has been received from a user task in response to a request for data from that
task. Timeouts provide a way to limit the amount of time the SeeView program and
the SeeView interpreter wait for operations such as WRITE, READ, OPEN, and
WINDOW to complete. They also prevent external deadlocks from affecting the
SeeView program.
The default value is 15 seconds.
DEVTYPE PROCESS | TERM
specifies the default device type that SeeView emulates. TERM stands for
terminal.
The DEVTYPE option is meaningful when the SeeView object file is set as
subtype 30. To do this, issue the binder command BIND CHANGE SUBTYPE 30
IN SEEVIEW.
The TACL, COMINT, and Seedit object file names default to device type 0,0. The
FUP, INSTALL, SPOOLCOM, and TESTPROC object file names default to device
type 6,0.
The default value is DEVTYPE PROCESS except for FUP, SPOOLCOM,
TESTPROC, and INSTALL.
Use the TASK and OPEN statements to override the DEVTYPE option.
DICTVOL vol-subvol
specifies the location of the volume and subvolume of the DDL-generated data
dictionary used by the GRAPH statement. If you do not specify ALTER DICTVOL,
the default location for the data dictionary is the same as the ALTER VOLUME
volume and subvolume. By specifying the location of the DICTVOL, you can
separate the location of the data dictionary from the default volume.
