ASOCTBL
Operation
acctname The name created by the System Manager to identify the
account. It must contain from one to eight alphanumeric
characters, beginning with an alphabetic character. The
acctname parameter may be replaced by @ to indicate all
accounts. For example,
username.@ enables all users of
the specified name in any account.
@.@ Enables all users in all accounts.
ASOCTBL expects input from an ASCII file or a terminal. If data is read from a file, the
formal file designator is
INPUT . ASOCTBL reads the input file until it finds an end-of-file
(EOF) indicator or a statement beginning with EXIT in column 1. When ASOCTBL finds
errors in the INPUT file, it scans remaining data and then terminates without updating
ASOCIATE.PUB.SYS.
If a file equation for
INPUT does not exist, ASOCTBL prompts for input from the terminal.
You may not use a text editor to directly modify the ASOCIATE file.
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.
