privilege) privilege to use the /SYSTEM qualifier. NOTE The logical name DISK$volume_label can point to any disk device on the system that is mounted and has for its volume label an executive-mode logical name in the form DISK$volume_label with the concealed and terminal attributes. data-filespec[,...] Specifies the file that is to be marked for recovery unit journaling. If a data file has been marked for recovery unit journaling with this command, DECdtm transaction services ($START_TRANS, $END_TRANS, and $ABORT_TRANS) must be used by an application program to define transactions whenever data in this file is modified. If you specify more than one file, separate the file specifications with commas. The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters are allowed. The file specification cannot include a node name, since the SET FILE command is not valid for network access.

19.8.2  –  Description

    The SET FILE/RU_JOURNAL command marks an RMS file for recovery
    unit journaling. To use recovery unit journaling for a data file,
    a data file must be marked for recovery unit journaling with the
    SET FILE/RU_JOURNAL command, and transactions must be defined
    in an application program using DECdtm transaction services. You
    can also use this command to specify the default volume on which
    recovery unit journals will be created for this file.

    Use the SET FILE/NORU_JOURNAL command to unmark a file for
    recovery unit journaling. After you use the SET FILE/NORU_JOURNAL
    command for a file, modifications to that data file will no
    longer be written to a recovery unit journal.

    If you wish to delete a file that has been marked for recovery
    unit journaling, you must use the SET FILE/NORU_JOURNAL command
    before you can delete the file.

    There is no reason other than performance to keep recovery unit
    journals on a different volume from the file being journaled.
    Unlike after-image journaling, which protects against a system
    failure such as a head crash that causes a loss of data, recovery
    unit journaling ensures that a predefined set of operations are
    either done in their entirety, or not done at all. In the event
    of an abnormal termination of the application, such as a system
    crash or a Ctrl/Y, any incomplete transactions are automatically
    rolled back (undone). Because all recovery unit journals must
    be available before the data files can be rolled back, locating
    recovery unit journals on a volume where availability might be
    low could reduce the availability of the data files that use
    those recovery unit journals.

    Specifying a location for recovery unit journals for a file
    does not guarantee that the recovery unit journals will always
    be located on the named device or volume. For any active
    transaction, there is always only one recovery unit journal for
    local files. Thus, if many files are involved in a transaction, a
    single recovery unit journal is used, even if different locations
    for the journals had been specified (for individual files) with
    different SET FILE/RU_JOURNAL commands.

    Remote files are an exception to this rule. Each remote file
    associated with a transaction has its own recovery unit and
    recovery unit journal. The recovery unit journal resides on the
    remote system. The volume is chosen in the same way as for local
    files. Remote files have no effect in determining where the local
    recovery unit journal resides.

    A journal is not deleted when the transaction has been completed.
    Recovery unit journals are automatically deleted only when
    all of the files involved in the transaction are closed and
    the application exits. RMS journaling automatically creates a
    recovery unit journal at run time, whenever the first record
    stream associates with a transaction. All record streams in
    the process associated with the same transaction share a single
    recovery unit journal. Once a recovery unit journal is created,
    it can be reused for another transaction by the process that
    created it. A recovery unit journal is created only when there is
    no available recovery unit journal opened by the process for the
    current transaction.

19.8.3  –  Examples

    1.$ SET FILE/RU_JOURNAL FINANCE_DISK:[PAYROLL]WEEKLY.DAT

      This command marks the file WEEKLY.DAT for recovery unit
      journaling. Any operation within an application that modifies
      this file must be in a defined transaction (defined by DECdtm
      transaction services).

    2.$ SET FILE/AI_JOURNAL=(FILE=JNL_DISK:, CREATE)-
      _$ /RU_JOURNAL/LOG OVERDUE.DAT
      %SET-I-JCREATED, journal JNL_DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.RMS$JOURNAL;1
      created
      %SET-I-FILMARKAI, WORK_DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.DAT;1 marked for RMS
      after-image journaling
      -SET-I-JFILE, using journal JNL_DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.RMS$JOURNAL;1
      %SET-I-FILMARKRU, WORK_DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.DAT;1 marked for RMS
      recovery-unit journaling
      %SET-I-MODIFIED, WORK_DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.DAT;1 modified

      $ SET FILE/AI_JOURNAL=(FILE=JNL_DISK:OVERDUE)-
      _$ /RU_JOURNAL/LOG  CURRENT.DAT

      %SET-I-FILMARKAI, WORK_DISK:[PAYABLE]CURRENT.DAT;1 marked for RMS
      after-image journaling
      -SET-I-JFILE, using journal JNL_DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.RMS$JOURNAL;1
      %SET-I-FILMARKRU, WORK_DISK:[PAYABLE]CURRENT.DAT;1 marked for RMS
      recovery-unit journaling
      %SET-I-MODIFIED, WORK_DISK:[PAYABLE]CURRENT.DAT;1 modified

      In this example, the files OVERDUE.DAT and CURRENT.DAT are
      marked for after-image and recovery unit journaling using two
      SET FILE commands. In this example, a single journal (JNL_
      DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.RMS$JOURNAL) is used for after-image
      journaling.

      The first SET FILE command uses the /CREATE
      qualifier to create a new after-image journal, JNL_
      DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.RMS$JOURNAL, for the file OVERDUE.DAT.
      The file specification uses the current default directory
      [PAYABLE] and the default file extension RMS$JOURNAL.

      The second SET FILE command marks the file CURRENT.DAT for
      after-image and recovery unit journaling, checks the disk JNL_
      DISK to see whether an after-image journal already exists, and
      uses the existing journal JNL_DISK:[PAYABLE]OVERDUE.RMS$JOURNAL
      for the file CURRENT.DAT.

20  –  HOST

    Connects your terminal (through the current host processor)
    to another processor, called the remote processor. The command
    requires that:

    o  You must have an account on the remote system to log in.

    o  The NETMBX (network mailbox) privilege is set.

    For more information about using the following qualifiers, see
    help for the appropriate subtopic.

    Qualifier   Type of Connection

    /DTE        Connects your system to a remote system through an
                outgoing terminal line.

    /DUP        Connects your terminal to a storage controller
                through the appropriate bus for that controller.

    /HSC        Connects your terminal to an HSC disk and tape
                controller through the computer interconnect (CI)
                bus.

    /LAT        Connects your terminal to a specified service
                available on the local area network (LAN).

    /RLOGIN     Allows you to log in to a remote host over a TCP/IP
                connection and start an interactive terminal session
                by accessing the RLOGIN application.

    /TELNET     Connects you to a remote host over a TCP/IP
                connection by invoking the TELNET application.

    /TN3270     Connects you to a remote IBM host over a TCP/IP
                connection, causing the local keyboard to emulate
                an IBM 3279-class terminal keyboard by invoking the
                TN3270 terminal emulator.

    Format

      SET HOST  node-name

20.1  –  Parameter

 node-name

    Specifies the node name of the remote processor to which you will
    connect.

20.2  –  Qualifiers

20.2.1    /APPLICATION_PROTOCOL

       /APPLICATION_PROTOCOL[=protocol]

    Specifies the protocol connection, CTERM (CTDRIVER) or RTERM
    (RTTDRIVER) on the specified node. CTERM protocol is the default
    if no connection is specified.

20.2.2    /BUFFER_SIZE

       /BUFFER_SIZE=n

    Changes the packet size of the protocol message sent between the
    terminal and the remote processor if a connection to the remote
    processor is already established. The default buffer size is 1010
    bytes; however, the buffer size n can range from 140 bytes to
    1024 bytes. The value of the parameter n is reset to 140 bytes if
    a value below 140 is specified; a value for n above 1024 bytes is
    reset to 1024.

    You can force the host node to write to the terminal in smaller
    packets, thereby ensuring that write operations to the terminal
    are displayed at more frequent intervals, by setting n to a
    value just above the minimum of 140 bytes. On slow DECnet links,
    setting the buffer size to a smaller value may decrease pauses
    between write operations when large amounts of data are being
    scrolled to the screen.

20.2.3    /LOG

       /LOG[=filespec]
       /NOLOG (default)

    Controls whether a log file of the entire session is kept. If you
    use the /LOG qualifier without the file specification, the log
    information is stored in the file SETHOST.LOG.

20.2.4    /MOP

       /MOP client-name

    Connects your system to a remote system using the MOP protocol.
    Note that this qualifier is displayed only if DECnet-Plus is
    installed on your system.

    For more information, type the following command:

    $       $ SET PREFIX "(!%T)"
      $ SET VERIFY
         .
         .
         .
      $ TEMP = F$VERIFY(PROC_VER, IMAGE_VER)
      $ SET PREFIX "''HOLD_PREFIX'"

      This command procedure uses the F$ENVIRONMENT lexical function
      to save the current procedure and image verification setting,
      as well as the current verification prefix string. The SET
      PREFIX command sets the verification prefix to be used in
      the current command procedure. It uses an FAO control string
      to produce the time each command is read by the command
      interpreter (DCL), surrounded by parentheses. Then the SET
      VERIFY command turns on both procedure and image verification.
      Subsequently, the F$VERIFY lexical function is used to restore
      the original verification settings. The SET PREFIX command
      returns the verification prefix to its previous setting. Note
      how the symbol HOLD_PREFIX is used in the SET PREFIX command.
      This preserves casing and special characters in the stored
      string.

    4.$ SET VERIFY
      $ @TEST
      $ RUN AVERAGE
      1
      2
      3
      $ EXIT

      In this example, the SET VERIFY command turns procedure and
      image verification on. When the command procedure TEST.COM is
      executed interactively, the command lines and the data lines
      for the program AVERAGE are displayed on the terminal. The data
      lines were entered in the command procedure on lines that did
      not begin with the DCL prompt.

    5.$ SET VERIFY
      $ COUNT = 1
      $ IF P'COUNT' .NES. "" THEN GOTO &P'COUNT'
         .
         .
         .
      $ EXIT

      When this command procedure is executed interactively, the
      SET VERIFY command causes the command and data lines to be
      displayed. Symbols that are substituted during the first
      phase of symbol substitution (such as 'COUNT') are displayed
      by the SET VERIFY command, but other symbols are not. The
      following lines are displayed when this procedure is executed
      interactively:

        $ COUNT = 1
        $ IF P1 .NES. "" THEN GOTO &P1
           .
           .
           .

      Although these values are not displayed, the value for P1 is
      substituted during the third phase of symbol substitution, and
      the value for &P1 is substituted during the second phase.

48  –  VOLUME

    Changes the characteristics of one or more mounted Files-11
    volumes. The SET VOLUME command affects only the node on which
    the command is issued, and will not affect any other nodes, even
    when a volume is mounted on multiple nodes in an OpenVMS Cluster
    configuration.

    If you are not the owner of the volume, requires control access
    to the volume.

    Format

      SET VOLUME  device-name[:][,...]

48.1  –  Parameter

 device-name[:][,...]

    Specifies the name of one or more mounted Files-11 volumes.

48.2  –  Qualifiers

48.2.1    /ACCESSED

       /ACCESSED[=n]

    Requires OPER (operator) privilege.

    Specifies the number of directories to be maintained in system
    space for ready access. You can specify a value n in the range
    of 0 to 255. If you specify the qualifier /ACCESSED and omit
    the number of directories, a default value of 3 is used. If you
    specify a value greater than the current value, the new value is
    effective immediately; otherwise, the new value is not effective
    until the next time the volume is mounted.

48.2.2    /CACHE

       /CACHE=(option[,...])

    Enables or disables XFC caching for the volume. If CLEAR_DATA
    option is specified, then contents of the volume already in cache
    are cleared. (If you do not specify the /CACHE qualifier, XFC
    caching attributes of the volume as well as the contents of
    the volume already in cache are not affected.) Keywords are as
    follows:

    Keyword     Description

    DATA        Enables XFC caching for the volume.
    [NO]DATA    Disables XFC caching for the volume.
    CLEAR_DATA  Clears contents of the volume present in the XFC
                cache (if any).

48.2.3    /DATA_CHECK

       /DATA_CHECK[=(option[,...])]

    Defines a default for data check operations following all read
    and write operations to the specified volume. (If you do not
    specify the /DATA_CHECK qualifier, no checks are made.) Keywords
    are as follows:

    [NO]READPerforms checks following all read operations.
    [NO]WRITPerforms checks following all write operations (default).

48.2.4    /ERASE_ON_DELETE

       /ERASE_ON_DELETE
       /NOERASE_ON_DELETE (default)

    Determines whether the space occupied by a file is overwritten
    with a system-specified pattern when a file on the volume is
    deleted.

48.2.5    /EXTENSION

       /EXTENSION[=n]

    Specifies the number of blocks to be used as a default extension
    size for all files on the volume. You can specify a value n in
    the range of 0 to 65,535. If you specify the /EXTENSION qualifier
    without specifying a value, a default value of 0 (the OpenVMS RMS
    default) is used.

    For example, during an update operation, the extension default
    is used when a file increases to a size greater than its initial
    default allocation.

48.2.6    /FILE_PROTECTION

       /FILE_PROTECTION=(ownership[:access][,...])

    Sets the default protection to be applied to all files on the
    specified disk volume. Specify the ownership parameter as system
    (S), owner (O), group (G), or world (W) and the access parameter
    as read (R), write (W), execute (E), or delete (D). A null access
    specification means no access.

                                   NOTE

       This attribute is not used while the volume is in use on an
       OpenVMS system, but the attribute is provided to control
       the process use of the volume on RSX-11M systems. The
       OpenVMS system always uses the default file protection;
       the protection can be changed with the DCL command SET
       PROTECTION/DEFAULT.

48.2.7    /HIGHWATER_MARKING

       /HIGHWATER_MARKING
       /NOHIGHWATER_MARKING

    Determines whether the file highwater mark (FHM) volume attribute
    is set. The FHM attribute guarantees that a user cannot read data
    that was not written by the user. Applies to Files-11 On-Disk
    Structure Level 2 (ODS-2) and 5 (ODS-5) volumes only.

48.2.8    /LABEL

       /LABEL=volume-label

    Specifies a 1- to 12-character ANSI name to be encoded on the
    volume. The specified label remains in effect until it is changed
    explicitly; dismounting the volume does not affect the label. VSI
    strongly recommends that a volume label should consist of only
    alphanumeric characters, dollar signs ($),  underscores (_), and
    hyphens (-).

                                   NOTE

       Changing the volume label does not change other structures
       that used the original volume label. For example, the
       DISK$label logical volume name is not changed nor is the
       device-lock name that is kept internally by OpenVMS. As a
       result, if you attempt to access another disk that has the
       same volume label as the original volume of this device,
       you may get error messages such as the following: "%MOUNT-F-
       VOLALRMNT, another volume of same label already mounted".

       VSI recommends that, if you change a disk volume label,
       you also dismount and remount the disk on all nodes in the
       cluster so that the names and locks are consistent.

    If you change the volume label on a nonsystem disk and the
    PRODUCT INSTALL command has been used to install software
    products on that disk, you must update the software product
    database to reflect this change. To accomplish this, first
    dismount and remount the disk. Then use the PRODUCT REGISTER
    VOLUME command to replace all occurrences of the old DISK$label
    with the new logical volume name that was created by the MOUNT
    command.

                                   NOTE

       You do not need to take this action when you change
       the label of the system disk. The POLYCENTER Software
       Installation Utility continues to use the old logical
       volume name until the system is rebooted. After reboot (when
       the system disk is remounted), the utility automatically
       identifies the system disk using its new logical volume
       name.

48.2.9    /LIMIT

       /LIMIT[=n]

    Specifies that the volume is to be enabled for volume expansion.
    n specifies the upper limit of the expansion (in blocks). If no
    value is specified, the maximum expansion potential is set up.

    The maximum expansion size depends on the cluster size defined
    for the volume using the INITIALIZE/CLUSTER_SIZE command. If
    the cluster size is 8 or more, the current maximum expansion
    supported on OpenVMS (1TB) is set up. If the cluster size is less
    than 8, the expansion limit is set to 65535*4096*Cluster-size
    because the maximum size of the bitmap is 65535 blocks. For more
    information about volume expansion, see the VSI Volume Shadowing
    for OpenVMS manual.

    This command must be executed while the disk is mounted
    privately.

    If you add additional physical storage in the future, you can use
    the /SIZE qualifier to increase the volume size.

48.2.10    /LOG

       /LOG
       /NOLOG (default)

    Determines whether the volume specification of each volume is
    displayed after the modification.

48.2.11    /MOUNT_VERIFICATION

       /MOUNT_VERIFICATION
       /NOMOUNT_VERIFICATION

    Determines whether mount verification is enabled. Mount
    verification prevents interruption to user input/output
    operations and notifies the operator of problems with the disk.

48.2.12    /OWNER_UIC

       /OWNER_UIC[=uic]

    Sets the owner user identification code (UIC) of the volume
    to the specified UIC. The default UIC is that of the current
    process. Brackets ([])  are required around the UIC. Specify the
    UIC by using standard UIC format as described in the VSI OpenVMS
    Guide to System Security.

48.2.13    /PROTECTION

       /PROTECTION=(ownership[:access][,...])

    Specifies the protection to be applied to the volume. The
    following rules apply:

    o  Specify the ownership parameter as system (S),  owner (O),
       group (G),  or world (W).

    o  Specify the access parameter as read (R),  write (W), create
       (C),  or delete (D).

    The default protection is all types of access by all categories
    of user.

48.2.14    /REBUILD

       /REBUILD[=FORCE]

    Recovers caching limits for a volume that was dismounted
    improperly. If a disk volume was dismounted improperly (such
    as during a system failure), and was then remounted with the
    MOUNT/NOREBUILD command, you can use SET VOLUME/REBUILD to
    recover the caching that was in effect at the time of the
    dismount. The FORCE option forces the disk to be rebuilt
    unconditionally, thus updating the free block count in the disk
    volume's lock value block.

48.2.15    /RETENTION

       /RETENTION=(min[,max])

    Specifies the minimum and maximum retention times to be used by
    the file system to determine the expiration date for files on
    the volume. When a file is created, its expiration date is set
    to the current time plus the maximum time. Each time the file is
    accessed, the current time is added to the minimum time. If the
    sum is greater than the expiration date, a new expiration date is
    computed.

    If you omit the maximum value, a default value that
    is the smaller of (2 x min) or (min + 7) days is
    used. For example, /RETENTION=3- is the same as
    /RETENTION=(3-,6-), while /RETENTION=10- is the same as
    /RETENTION=(10-,17-).

    The command SET VOLUME/RETENTION=0 disables retention times on
    the volume.

48.2.16    /SIZE

       /SIZE[=nnn]

    Specifies the amount of disk space (in blocks) that is usable for
    the file system. This value must be greater than the current
    logical volume size and less than or equal to the physical
    size of the disk or the expansion limit (specified by /LIMIT),
    whichever is smaller.

    If the value is omitted, the usable space is increased to the
    physical size of the disk or the expansion limit, whichever is
    smaller.

48.2.17    /STRUCTURE_LEVEL

       /STRUCTURE_LEVEL=n

    Sets the structure level of the volume. Use the value 5 to set
    the volume to ODS-5.

    When the /STRUCTURE_LEVEL qualifier is used with other
    qualifiers, the volume structure level is set prior to the other
    qualifiers being performed.

    You cannot use the SET VOLUME command to change a volume from
    ODS-5 to ODS-2. To reset a volume to ODS-2, see the instructions
    in the VSI OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials.

48.2.18    /SUBSYSTEM

       /SUBSYSTEM
       /NOSUBSYSTEM

    Enables the processing of subsystem ACEs. Requires the SECURITY
    privilege. By default, the disk from which you boot has protected
    subsystems enabled but other disks do not. For further details on
    subsystems, see the VSI OpenVMS Guide to System Security.

48.2.19    /UNLOAD

       /UNLOAD (default)
       /NOUNLOAD

    Specifies whether the volume is unloaded (spun down) when the DCL
    command DISMOUNT is entered.

48.2.20    /USER_NAME

       /USER_NAME[=user-name]

    Specifies a user name of up to 12 alphanumeric characters to be
    recorded on the volume. The default name is the current process
    user name.

48.2.21    /VOLUME_CHARACTERISTICS

       /VOLUME_CHARACTERISTICS=([[NO]HARDLINKS,] [[NO]ACCESS_
       DATES[=delta-time]])

    Enables or disables hardlinks and automatic updates of access
    dates on ODS-5 volumes.

    To limit the performance impact if a file is accessed frequently,
    you can suppress update of the access time if the change is
    small. A delta time is used to determine when a new access time
    is significant. The default value for delta-time is 1 second,
    chosen to comply with the "seconds since EPOCH" time interface
    required by POSIX st_atime. A site can choose a larger delta time
    to reduce overhead if 1-second granularity is not required.

    To disable access date support on a volume, use the SET
    VOLUME/VOLUME_CHARACTERISTICS=NOACCESS_DATES command. This
    command affects only the node on which the command is issued.
    Other nodes are not affected by the change until the next time
    the volume is mounted.

48.2.22    /WINDOWS

       /WINDOWS[=n]

    Specifies the number of mapping pointers to be allocated for file
    windows.

    The value of n can be from 7 to 80; the default value is 7.

48.2.23    /WRITETHROUGH

       /WRITETHROUGH
       /NOWRITETHROUGH

    This qualifier only affects applications such as PATHWORKS that
    can request deferred writes to file headers. You use it to
    control whether these applications can use the deferred write
    feature.

    Use /NOWRITETHROUGH to allow these applications to use the
    deferred write feature. When one of these applications explicitly
    requests a deferred write when updating a file header, control
    returns to the application when the I/O request has been queued;
    the application does not have to wait until the data is on disk.

    Note that although the SHOW DEVICES/FULL command shows the volume
    status as write-back caching enabled, the extended file cache
    (XFC) will still be in write-through mode.

    Use /WRITETHROUGH to disable the deferred write feature, so that
    no applications can use it. The SHOW DEVICES/FULL command shows
    the volume status as write-through caching enabled.

    The deferred write feature is not available on Files-11 ODS-1
    volumes.

48.3  –  Examples

    1.$ SET VOLUME/DATA_CHECK=(READ,WRITE) DKA5

      The SET VOLUME command in this example requests that data
      checks be performed following all read and write operations
      to DKA5.

    2.$ SET VOLUME/FILE_PROTECTION=(S:RWED,O:RWED,G:RE,W:RE) DKA5

      The SET VOLUME command in this example sets the default
      protection to be applied to all files created on volume DKA5.
      System (S)  and owner (O) are granted all types of access;
      group (G)  and world (W) are permitted only to read and execute
      files on DKA5.

    3.$ SET VOLUME/LABEL=LICENSES DKA5

      The SET VOLUME command in this example encodes the label
      LICENSES on the volume DKA5. Note that if characters in labels
      are entered in lowercase, they are changed to uppercase by the
      /LABEL qualifier.

    4.$ SET VOLUME/ACCESSED=25/USER_NAME=MANAGER/LOG DKA0:

      The SET VOLUME command in this example specifies that 25
      directories are to be maintained in system space for ready
      access for the volume DKA0. The command also assigns the
      user name MANAGER to the volume and displays the volume
      specification after the volume is modified.

    5.$ SET VOLUME/REBUILD/LOG NODE$DKA2:
      %SET-I-MODIFIED, _NODE$DKA2: modified

      The SET VOLUME command in this example causes a rebuild
      operation to begin on the volume that is mounted on NODE$DKA2.
      The /LOG qualifier directs the SET VOLUME command to display a
      notification message.

    6.$ DISMOUNT/CLUSTER/NOUNLOAD $252$DUA716:
      $ MOUNT $252$DUA716: TST716
      $ SET VOLUME/LIMIT $252$DUA716:
      $ DISMOUNT/NOUNLOAD $252$DUA716:
      $ MOUNT/CLUSTER $252$DUA716: TST716

      This example shows how to increase the expansion limit of a
      volume mounted in a cluster.

    7.$ SET VOLUME SYS$DISK/VOLUME_CHARACTERISTICS=NOHARDLINKS

      This command disables hard links on SYS$DISK.

    8.$ SET VOLUME $DKA100/CACHE=CLEAR_DATA

      This command clears the contents of the volume $DKA100 present
      in the XFC cache (if any). The caching mode of the volume
      $DKA100 is not altered.

    9.$ SET VOLUME $DKA100/CACHE=DATA

      This command enables XFC caching for the volume $DKA100. The
      contents of the volume $DKA100 already present in the XFC cache
      is not affected in anyway.

    10$ SET VOLUME $DKA100/CACHE=(DATA,CLEAR_DATA)

      This command enables XFC caching for the volume $DKA100 and
      clears the contents of the volume $DKA100 present in the XFC
      cache (if any).

49  –  WORKING_SET

    Redefines the default working set size for the process, or sets
    an upper limit to which the working set size can be changed by an
    image that the process executes. Working set limits cannot be set
    to exceed those defined in the user authorization file (UAF).

    Specify the value of n as a number of 512-byte pagelets on Alpha.
    Note that the OpenVMS system rounds up this value to the nearest
    CPU-specific page so that the actual amount of physical memory
    allowed may be larger than the specified amount on Alpha.

    Format

      SET WORKING_SET

49.1  –  Qualifiers

49.1.1    /ADJUST

       /ADJUST (default)
       /NOADJUST

    Controls whether the system can automatically adjust the size of
    the process working set.

49.1.2    /EXTENT

       /EXTENT=n

    Specifies the maximum number of physical pages that can be
    resident in the working set during image execution.

    The extent value must be greater than the minimum working set
    defined at system generation, and it must be less than or equal
    to the authorized extent defined in the UAF.

    If you specify a value greater than the authorized extent, the
    command sets the working set limit at the maximum authorized
    value.

49.1.3    /LIMIT

       /LIMIT=n

    Specifies the size to which the working set is to be reduced at
    image exit.

    If you specify a value greater than the current quota, the quota
    value is also increased.

49.1.4    /LOG

       /LOG
       /NOLOG (default)

    Determines whether confirmation of the SET WORKING_SET command is
    displayed.

49.1.5    /QUOTA

       /QUOTA=n

    Specifies the maximum number of physical pages that any image
    executing in the process context can request. An image can set
    the working set size for the process by calling the $ADJWSL
    (Adjust Working Set Limit) system service.

    If you specify a quota value that is greater than the authorized
    quota, the working set quota is set to the authorized quota
    value.

49.2  –  Examples

    1.$ SHOW WORKING_SET
       Working Set      /Limit=  150  /Quota=  700            /Extent= 700
       Adjustment enabled    Authorized Quota=  700  Authorized Extent= 700
      $ SET WORKING_SET/QUOTA=1000
      %SET-I-NEWLIMS, new working set: Limit = 150 Quota = 700 Extent = 700

      The SHOW WORKING_SET command in this example displays the
      current limit, quota, and extent, as well as the authorized
      quota and authorized extent. The SET WORKING_SET command
      attempts to set a quota limiting the maximum number of pages
      any image can request that is greater than the authorized
      quota. Note from the response that the quota was not increased.

    2.$ SHOW WORKING_SET
       Working Set      /Limit=  150  /Quota=  350            /Extent= 350
       Adjustment enabled    Authorized Quota=  350  Authorized Extent= 350
      $ SET WORKING_SET/LIMIT=100
      %SET-I-NEWLIMS, new working set: Limit = 100 Quota = 350 Extent = 350
      $ SHOW WORKING_SET
       Working Set      /Limit=  100  /Quota=  350            /Extent= 350
       Adjustment enabled    Authorized Quota=  350  Authorized Extent= 350

      The SET WORKING_SET command in this example sets the working
      set size for any image in the process to 100.
