1.$ DEASSIGN MEMO The DEASSIGN command in this example deassigns the process logical name MEMO. 2.$ DEASSIGN/ALL The DEASSIGN command in this example deassigns all process logical names that were created in user and supervisor mode. This command does not, however, delete the names that were placed in the process logical name table in executive mode by the command interpreter (for example, SYS$INPUT, SYS$OUTPUT, SYS$ERROR, SYS$DISK, and SYS$COMMAND). 3.$ DEASSIGN/TABLE=LNM$PROCESS_DIRECTORY TAX The DEASSIGN command in this example deletes the logical name table TAX, and any descendant tables. When you delete a logical name table, you must specify either the /TABLE=LNM$PROCESS_ DIRECTORY or the /TABLE=LNM$SYSTEM_DIRECTORY qualifier, because the names of all tables are contained in these directories. 4.$ ASSIGN USER_DISK: COPY $ SHOW LOGICAL COPY "COPY" = "USER_DISK:" (LNM$PROCESS_TABLE) $ DEASSIGN COPY The ASSIGN command in this example equates the logical name COPY with the device USER_DISK and places the names in the process logical name table. The DEASSIGN command deletes the logical name. 5.$ DEFINE SWITCH: TEMP $ DEASSIGN SWITCH:: The DEFINE command in this example places the logical name SWITCH: in the process logical name table. The trailing colon is retained as part of the logical name. Two colons are required on the DEASSIGN command to delete this logical name because the DEASSIGN command removes one trailing colon, and the other colon is needed to match the characters in the logical name. 6.$ ASSIGN/TABLE=LNM$GROUP DKA1: GROUP_DISK $ DEASSIGN/PROCESS/GROUP GROUP_DISK The ASSIGN command in this example places the logical name GROUP_DISK in the group logical name table. The DEASSIGN command specifies conflicting qualifiers; because the /GROUP qualifier is last, the name is successfully deassigned. 7.$ ASSIGN DALLAS::USER_DISK: DATA . . . $ DEASSIGN DATA The ASSIGN command in this example associates the logical name DATA with the device specification USER_DISK on remote node DALLAS. Subsequent references to the logical name DATA result in references to the disk on the remote node. The DEASSIGN command cancels the logical name assignment.
