ASSUME Command
•
The ASSIGN messages set in VHSCI are lost when exiting from VHSCI.
•
If the BREAK key is pressed during a VHSCI session and a new ASSIGN message
is set outside of VHSCI, VHSCI cannot receive this ASSIGN message. VHSCI
cannot pass the new ASSIGN message when it creates a process.
Examples
ASSUME Command
The ASSUME command sets the default object type, object name, or both for
subsequent commands. The default object type is used when the object type is omitted
from a command. The default object name is used when the object name is omitted
from a command. If no default object name has been established and the object name
is omitted from a command, a syntax error message occurs. A remote object name
cannot be assumed.
/ OUT file-spec /
causes any VHSCI output generated for this command to be directed to the
specified file.
object-type
specifies a keyword that represents the default object type.
object-name
specifies the name of the object that is to be the default object.
Considerations
•
When a VHSCI session begins, the assumed object-type and object-name
are null.
•
If object-type is omitted and object-name is specified, the default object-type
remains unchanged. If an object type is specified and the object name is omitted,
the default object name remains unchanged. If both object type and object name
are omitted, the assumed object type and object name become null.
•
When accessing remote systems, it is recommended that you change the name of
the default system using the SYSTEM command and then assume the object
name.
