Examples
ASSIGN Command
The ASSIGN command changes, adds, and displays ASSIGN messages passed to a
process initiated by the VHSCI RUN command. It has the same syntax as the TACL
ASSIGN command.
logical-unit
specifies the name to which a file name or file attributes are assigned. logical-
unit requires one of these:
*.logical-file
program-unit.logical-file
logical-file
Both program-unit and logical-file consist of 1 to 31 alphanumeric
characters, including hyphen (-) and circumflex (^).
The exact meanings of the asterisk (*), program-unit, and logical-file
depend on the application. In general, the following is true:
•
The asterisk (*) applies the assignment to all program units in the object
program file running.
•
program-unit is the name, as designated in the source program, that the
file name assignment applies to.
•
logical-file is the name of the file as designated in the source program.
actual-file-name
specifies the name of a physical file. A partial file name is not expanded.
