ASOCTBL
Operation
72
Using ASOCTBL with an ASCII File
To run ASOCTBL with an ASCII file you must first create the file using a text editor such as EDIT3000. For
example, in the following ASCII file the users and accounts, MGR.MNFG, USER.UTILTY and JACK.MR KTG will
be able to associate with LP, TAPE and LP2 respectively.
EDITOR
/ADD
1 LP = MGR.MNFG
2 TAPE = USER.UTILTY
3 LP2 = JACK.MRKTG
4 EXIT
5 //
/KEEP ASOTFILE,UNN
/E
Once you have created the file and named it, you must use it in a file equation and then invoke the file. To
continue the preceding example, you would enter:
FILE INPUT=ASOTFILE
ASOCTBL
ASOCTBL displays the devices and the users specified in the ASCII file ASOTFILE.
Using ASOCTBL Interactively
To use ASOCTBL interactively enter:
ASOCTBL
At the ASOCTBL prompt, enter devices and the user names you want to associate. For example:
> LP = MGR.MNFG
> TAPE = USER.UTILTY
> LP2 = JACK.MRKTG
To terminate ASOCTBL, enter:
> EXIT
Using Wildcards in User and Account Names
You may use wildcards to specify an association for a group of users, such as those using the same account.
For example, the command below associates all users logged onto the FINANCE account, and the user JACK
logged onto any account with the device class LP:
ASOCTBL
> LP = @.FINANCE,JACK.@
> EXIT
In this example user JACK.MRKTG, all users logged onto the FINANCE account, and the user JACK logged onto
any account may associate with device class LP.
Removing Entries from ASOCIATE.PUB.SYS
ASOCTBL builds a new version of ASOCIATE.PUB.SYS each time it is invoked and successfully terminates.
Therefore, to remove entries invoke ASOCTBL and specify only the the entries you currently want.
