ASSIGN Command
ASSIGN Command
You use the TACL ASSIGN command to connect a physical file name to a logical file
name. Specifically, you can use an ASSIGN command to:
•
Specify the tape drive to be used by SYSGENR when making the system image
tape
•
Specify the location of a program to be used by SYSGENR
•
Specify the location where SYSGENR is to save a work file after SYSGENR ends
The syntax for the ASSIGN command is shown here.
filename
is a simple (unqualified) file name or logical file name, such as one listed in the
CONFAUX file. It must not include a volume or subvolume name.
[[[\system.]$volume.]subvolume.]newfilename
is the name of a logical or physical file or device that SYSGENR is to use in place
of filename. When you run SYSGENR, newfilename must already exist
(unless it is a SYSGENR work file).
Examples
•
To list current assignments, enter the ASSIGN command alone:
> ASSIGN
These assignments continue until you change one with an ASSIGN command or
until you log off.
•
To delete an individual assignment, enter the following ASSIGN command:
> CLEAR ASSIGN filename
•
To delete all ASSIGNS and PARAMS in effect, enter the following command:
> CLEAR ALL
See the TACL Reference Manual for more information on the ASSIGN command.
