SETLOG Procedure (OpenVMS)

Defines a logical name.

SETLOG, logname, value

logname A scalar string containing the name of the logical to be defined.

value A string giving the value to which logname will be set. If value is a string array, logname is defined as a multi-valued logical where each element of value defines one of the equivalence strings.

Concealed If set, RMS interprets the equivalence name as a device name.

Confine If set, prevents logname from being copied from the PV-WAVE process to its spawned subprocesses.

No_Alias If set, prevents logname from being duplicated in the same logical table at an outer access mode. If another logical name with the same name already exists at an outer access mode, it is deleted.

Table A scalar string giving the name of the logical table from which to delete logname. If this keyword is not present, the table LNM$PROCESS_TABLE is used.

Terminal If set, prevents further iterative logical name translation on the equivalence name from being performed when SETLOG attempts to translate logname.
