The SET command allows you to set the current `context' or the
current context database for your process.
A `context' is a named set of values that tailors the DECset tools
to a specific software development activity (for example, fixing
bugs or implementing enhancements).
The SET command line has one of the following forms, depending upon
whether a context or a context database is being set:
DECSET SET CONTEXT context-name [/DATABASE=database-file]
DECSET SET DATABASE database-file
DCL wild cards may not be used in either the context-name or
database-file argument.
The /DATABASE qualifier allows you to set a context that is defined
in the specified database. If the /DATABASE qualifier is missing,
the value of the DECSET$CONTEXT_DB logical name is used; if this
logical name is undefined, your SYS$LOGIN directory is searched for
a file named DECSET$KNOWN_CONTEXTS.DECSET_CONTEXT_DB. If a database
cannot be located, an error message is displayed.
The DECSET SET CONTEXT command automatically defines the logical names
DECSET$CONTEXT and DECSET$CONTEXT_DB. The DECSET SET DATABASE command
automatically defines the logical name DECSET$CONTEXT_DB.
