The *GO variable in this example indicates that the FOO.OUT application executes
on restart, after successful authentication. The two data files that follow the zero-
length SETDRIVE.F file, FOO.DAT and FOO.VFT, are redirected into GID1 F:
drive. Because it follows the inserted zero-length SETDRIVE.I file, GOO.DAT
downloads into Group 1 I: drive.

You can also insert zero-length SETGROUP.n files into a batch download list to
redirect files from the target file group to other file groups (see Redirecting Files to
Other File Groups). Together, the zero-length SETDRIVE.x and SETGROUP.n
files allow you flexibility to store files as required in the F: drive or I: drive file
systems, and in specific file groups in a single batch download operation.
Redirecting Files to
Other File Groups
GID1 is the default Verix Terminal Manager setting for performing downloads.
Using the Verix Terminal Manager menu options, you can select another file
group (GID 2–15) as the target group for the application download. If you select
another group, files download directly into the I: drive of that file group.
To redirect files from the selected target file group to another file group as part of
the download operation, insert a zero-length SETGROUP.n file in the batch
download list (the same as SETDRIVE.x). The syntax of this convention is
SETGROUP.n, where n = 1–15 for GIDs 1–15.
To create a zero-length SETGROUP file on the download computer, use the DOS
command REM as in the following example:
REM >SETGROUP.2
If you do not insert SETGROUP.n special files into the download list, all files
download into the target group selected in Verix Terminal Manager. If no number
is added to the SETGROUP filename, SETGROUP.1 (GID1) is assumed.
NOTE
You can only use zero-length SETDRIVE.x files for batch application downloads,
by direct or by only using the DMM download tool (and not DDL.EXE).
You cannot use this special file convention for operating system downloads or for
back-to-back application downloads.
