ASOCTBL
Operation
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.
Listing the Association Table
To list the association table in ASOCIATE.PUB.SYS (users and the devices to which they
may associate) enter:
RUN ASOCTBL.PUB.SYS,LIST
