#SET Built-In Function
#SET Built-In Function
Use #SET to change the contents of a variable level or built-in variable.
option
is either of these:
IN file-name
specifies that the named file is to be read into the variable level. If this option is
present, text is not allowed.
TYPE type-name
specifies the type of the variable level being set.
type-name
is one of these:
ALIAS
specifies that variable-level is an alias; therefore, text must be a
variable-level name or a file name.
DELTA
specifies that variable-level is a #DELTA command variable;
therefore, text must be #DELTA commands.
DIRECTORY
specifies that variable-level is a directory name. If you omit text,
this option clears variable-level and establishes an empty
directory.
If you include text, it must have this specific form:
mode file-name
where mode is either PRIVATE or SHARED, and file-name is the
name of an existing segment file (code 440). The segment file must not
reside on a remote system. This form of the #SET command
associates a directory variable with the segment file in the same
manner as an ATTACHSEG command.
