ALTER LINE Command
ALTER LINE Command
The ALTER LINE command changes or removes the values of attributes defining
characteristics of a LINE object. It is a sensitive command.
OUT file-spec
causes any SCF output generated for this command to be directed to the specified
file. file-spec must be a partially or fully qualified file name. If this option is not
specified, the output is sent to the home terminal.
object-name
is the name of the LINE object whose attribute values are to be changed or
removed.
LIKE object-name
identifies an existing LINE object whose attribute values serve as a model for the
new values of the attributes of the object being altered. object-name must
specify an existing object of the same type.
attribute-spec
is a specification of an attribute and a value to be assigned to it. If the LIKE syntax
is used, attribute-spec overrides the setting derived from the LIKE object for
that attribute.
The possible attribute-specs for a LINE object depend on the line subtype
and are described on the following pages. The supported line types are 58,3
(X.25), 58,4 (Token-Ring), 58,5 (SDLC), and 58,6 (Ethernet).
Considerations

The ALTER LINE command can be performed only when the LINE object is in the
STOPPED state.

The ASSOCIATESUBDEV, AUTOLOGON, BINDENTRY, and ESSTABLE
attributes can be removed by specifying a null string (" ") as the value.

The SCF ALTER, LIKE command can be used to copy attributes from one object
(usually a line) to another. Users can define attributes for LINE A, then issue the
SCF command ALTER LINE B, LIKE A to configure both lines with exactly the
same attributes.

If the ALTER LINE command is used to increase the previously configured value of
MAXPUS or MAXLUS, then the user must also specify either XPAGES 0 (where
ALTER [ / OUT file-spec / ] LINE object-name
[, LIKE object-name ] [, attribute-spec ]...
