30 – Glossary frame
Context -
A context is defined as a named set of values that tailors
the DECset tools to a specific software development
activity (for example, fixing bugs or implementing
enhancements). The supported attributes for which these
values are supplied are: logical name definitions; symbol
definitions; MMS macro definitions; MMS build options;
linker options file specifications; library settings;
a source directory specification; output directory
specifications; and a default directory specification.
Each context has a unique name within a particular context
database (see Context Database). The length of the context
name is limited to 16 characters.
Context Database -
A context is defined in a context database. This database
is stored as a sequential ASCII text file. Each record of
this file has the following format:
context-name file-spec [parent-context] ["description"]
A context database entry must include a fully-qualified file
specification (e.g.,DISK:[directory]file.DECSET_CONTEXT_DB).
Context File -
A context file is used to store information that is
specific to a particular named context. The context file
is specified by an OpenVMS file specification, which
is stored in the context database entry (see Context
Database) associated with the named context.
The default context file type is .DECSET_CONTEXT.
The context file is a sequential ASCII text file. In a
context file, a continuation line must be terminated by a
hyphen character. Trailing comments are not allowed on a
continuation line.
Context Including Inheritance -
Any context may be based upon another context, which (in
turn) may itself be based upon yet another context. A
child context inherits information from its entire `chain'
of parent contexts. The term context object refers to a
context that includes all of this inherited information.
DECset Environment Manager -
The DECset Environment Manager provides a single mechanism
for tailoring the execution environment for a set of
DECset tools. The tailoring factor is known simply as
a context.
Using the DECwindows user interface, a context may be
applied to all tools displaying on a particular DECwindows
display.
Parent/Child Context -
A context that is based upon another context is said
to be a child context. Each child context inherits all
the information associated with its parent context. If
the same attribute in both a child and its parent have
different values, the child's value overrides that of the
parent.

Library/String.
