SYSTEM Guidelines
volume
names the new current default volume.
subvolume
names the new current default subvolume.
SYSTEM Guidelines
The initial SYSTEM setting is the node enabled when you start FUP.
You can use the SYSTEM command only to reference nodes that have a name; for
example, a node that is part of a network.
Entering the SYSTEM command without
node
restores the default node name to
the local node.
If you omit
node
parameter, FUP uses the local form for file-name expansion.
Using the local form allows access to all volume and device names on the node.
When you supply
node
(even if the name of the local node is specified), FUP uses
the network form for file-name expansion. Using the network form causes only
volume or device names with six characters or fewer to be accessible.
The
volume
and
subvolume
parameters are optional. If you omit these
parameters, FUP uses their current default values.
If
node
is an invalid node name, FUP displays an error message and does not
change the node. However, FUP does not issue an error if
volume
(or its default
value) does not exist on the new system.
FUP and the command interpreter keep separate defaults for node, volume, and
subvolume. When you exit FUP, the command interpreter defaults are still the
values that were enabled when you started FUP.
SYSTEM Examples
To set the \LONDON node as the current default for FUP and keep your current
default volume and subvolume:
-SYSTEM \LONDON
To set the current FUP defaults to the PAID subvolume on the $BILLS volume of
the NEWYORK node:
-SYSTEM \NEWYORK.$BILLS.PAID
