1 /ALL
Deletes all logical names in the same or an outer (less privileged) access mode. If no logical name table is specified, the default is the process table, LNM$PROCESS. If you specify the /ALL qualifier, you cannot enter a logical-name parameter.
2 /CLUSTER_SYSTEM
You must be signed in to the SYSTEM account or have SYSNAM (system logical name) or SYSPRV (system) privilege to deassign a clusterwide logical name. Deassigns a logical name from the LNM$SYSCLUSTER table.
3 /EXECUTIVE_MODE
Requires SYSNAM (system logical name) privilege to deassign executive-mode logical names. Deletes only entries that were created in the specified mode or an outer (less privileged) mode. If you do not have SYSNAM privilege for executive mode, a supervisor-mode operation is assumed.
4 /GROUP
Requires GRPNAM (group logical name) or SYSPRV privilege to delete entries from the group logical name table. Indicates that the specified logical name is in the group logical name table. The /GROUP qualifier is synonymous with the /TABLE=LNM$GROUP qualifier.
5 /JOB
Indicates that the specified logical name is in the jobwide logical name table. The /JOB qualifier is synonymous with the /TABLE=LNM$JOB qualifier. If you do not explicitly specify a logical name table, the default is the /PROCESS qualifier. You should not deassign jobwide logical name entries that were made by the system at login time, for example, SYS$LOGIN, SYS$LOGIN_DEVICE, and SYS$SCRATCH. However, if you assign new equivalence names for these logical names (that is, create new logical names in outer access modes), you can deassign the names you explicitly created.
6 /LOG
/LOG (default) /NOLOG /NOLOG overrides the default /LOG to suppress output of a fatal error that would be returned if the specified logical name were not found. When you specify /NOLOG, $STATUS is set to Success instead of to Fatal and no error message is output.
7 /PROCESS
/PROCESS (default) Indicates that the specified logical name is in the process logical name table. The /PROCESS qualifier is synonymous with the /TABLE=LNM$PROCESS qualifier. You cannot deassign logical name table entries that were made by the command interpreter, for example, SYS$INPUT, SYS$OUTPUT, and SYS$ERROR. However, if you assign new equivalence names for these logical names (that is, create new logical names in outer access modes), you can deassign the names you explicitly created.
8 /SUPERVISOR_MODE
/SUPERVISOR_MODE (default) Deletes entries in the specified logical name table that were created in supervisor mode. If you specify the /SUPERVISOR_MODE qualifier, the DEASSIGN command also deassigns user-mode entries with the same name.
9 /SYSTEM
Indicates that the specified logical name is in the system logical name table. The /SYSTEM qualifier is synonymous with the /TABLE=LNM$SYSTEM qualifier.
10 /TABLE
/TABLE=name Specifies the table from which the logical name is to be deleted. Defaults to LNM$PROCESS. The table can be the process, group, job, or system table, one of the directory tables, or the name of a user-created table. (The process, job, group, and system logical name tables should be referred to by the logical names LNM$PROCESS, LNM$JOB, LNM$GROUP, and LNM$SYSTEM, respectively.) The /TABLE qualifier also can be used to delete a logical name table. To delete a process-private table, enter the following command: $ DEASSIGN/TABLE=LNM$PROCESS_DIRECTORY table-name To delete a shareable table, enter the following command: $ DEASSIGN/TABLE=LNM$SYSTEM_DIRECTORY table-name To delete a shareable logical name table, you must have delete (D) access to the table or write (W) access to the directory table in which the name of the shareable table is cataloged. If you do not explicitly specify the /TABLE qualifier, the default is the /TABLE=LNM$PROCESS qualifier.
11 /USER_MODE
Deletes entries in the process logical name table that were created in user mode. If you specify the /USER_MODE qualifier, the DEASSIGN command can deassign only user-mode entries. Also, user-mode logical names are automatically deleted when invoking and exiting a command procedure.
