DIR - Default Directory Filename
The name of the file that will be used as the NetBase directory for all processes on this node. This
parameter takes effect as new user processes are started or the START POST command is issued in
NBCTRL.
Default = NBD.DATA.NETBASE
DIR - Allow File Equates
If set to Y, the NetBase directory may be redirected from the default directory with a file equation.
Recommended value is N. This parameter takes effect as new user processes are started.
Default = N
DIR - Allow Wildcards
Setting this parameter to Y enables the NetBase directory wildcard feature. This allows you to
specify files and programs within the NetBase directory using the @ wildcard. The @ wildcard may
only be used to replace complete file and group names. This parameter takes effect as new user
processes are started.
Default = Y
DIR - Map Local Files with Dir
Normally, the remapping of a filename from the LOCAL REFERENCE to the REMOTE EQUIVALENT
applies only to remote files. Setting this parameter to Y causes NetBase to use the REMOTE
EQUIVALENT on local files also. Wildcards may be used to remap local files.
Default = N
Enabling this parameter affects all file definitions. This option can be implemented more effectively
through use of the ;MAP option of the directory's FILE command. Turn to Chapter 4 “NBDIR” for
more information on the FILE command and the ;MAP option. This parameter takes effect as new
user processes are started.
