Qualifiers

/CLUSTER_SYSTEM
   You must be signed in to the SYSTEM account or have SYSNAM
   (system logical name) or SYSPRV (system) privilege to use this
   qualifier.

   Assigns a clusterwide logical name in the LNM$SYSCLUSTER table.


/EXECUTIVE_MODE
   Requires SYSNAM (system logical name) privilege.

   Creates an executive-mode logical name. If you specify executive
   mode, but do not have SYSNAM privilege, a supervisor-mode logical
   name is created. The mode of the logical name must be the same
   as or external to (less privileged than) the mode of the table in
   which you are placing the name.


/GROUP
   Requires SYSPRV (system privilege) or GRPNAM (group logical name)
   privilege.

   Places the logical name in the group logical name table. Other
   users who have the same group number in their user identification
   codes (UICs) can access the logical name. The /GROUP qualifier is
   synonymous with the /TABLE=LNM$GROUP qualifier.


/JOB
   Places the logical name in the jobwide logical name table. All
   processes within the same job tree as the process creating the
   logical name can access the logical name. The /JOB qualifier is
   synonymous with the /TABLE=LNM$JOB qualifier.


/LOG
      /LOG (default)
      /NOLOG

   Displays a message when a new logical name supersedes an existing
   name.


/NAME_ATTRIBUTES
      /NAME_ATTRIBUTES[=(keyword[,...])]

   Specifies the attributes for a logical name. By default, no
   attributes are set. You can specify the following keywords for
   attributes:

   CONFINE    Does not copy the logical name into a spawned
              subprocess; this keyword is relevant only for logical
              names in a private table.

   NO_ALIAS   Prohibits creation of logical names with the same name
              in an outer (less privileged) access mode within the
              specified table. If another logical name with the same
              name and an outer access mode already exists in this
              table, the name is deleted.

   If you specify only one keyword, you can omit the parentheses.
   Only the attributes you specify are set.


/PROCESS
      /PROCESS (default)

   Places the logical name in the process logical name table. The
   /PROCESS qualifier is synonymous with the /TABLE=LNM$PROCESS
   qualifier.


/SUPERVISOR_MODE
      /SUPERVISOR_MODE (default)

   Creates a supervisor-mode logical name in the specified table.


/SYSTEM
   Requires SYSNAM (system logical name) or SYSPRV (system
   privilege) privilege.

   Places the logical name in the system logical name table. All
   system users can access the logical name. The /SYSTEM qualifier
   is synonymous with the /TABLE=LNM$SYSTEM qualifier.


/TABLE
      /TABLE=name

   Requires write (W) access to the table if the table is
   shareable.

   Specifies the logical name table in which the logical name is to
   be entered. You can use the /TABLE qualifier to specify a user-
   defined logical name table (created with the CREATE/NAME_TABLE
   command); to specify the process, job, group, or system logical
   name tables; or to specify the process or system logical name
   directory tables.

   If you specify the table name using a logical name that has more
   than one translation, the logical name is placed in the first
   table found. For example, if you specify ASSIGN/TABLE=LNM$FILE_
   DEV and LNM$FILE_DEV is equated to LNM$PROCESS, LNM$JOB,
   LNM$GROUP, and LNM$SYSTEM, then the logical name is placed in
   LNM$PROCESS.

   If you do not explicitly specify the /TABLE qualifier, the
   default is the /TABLE=LNM$PROCESS qualifier.


/TRANSLATION_ATTRIBUTES
      /TRANSLATION_ATTRIBUTES[=(keyword[,...])]

   Equivalence-name qualifier.

   Specifies attributes of the equivalence-name parameter. Possible
   keywords are as follows:

   CONCEALED  Indicates that the equivalence string is the name of a
              concealed device.

              When a concealed device name is defined, the system
              displays the logical name, rather than the equivalence
              string, in messages that refer to the device. If you
              specified the CONCEALED attribute, then the equivalence
              string must be a physical device name.

   TERMINAL   Indicates that the equivalence string should not be
              translated iteratively; logical name translation should
              terminate with the current equivalence string.

   If you specify only one keyword, you can omit the parentheses.
   Only the attributes you specify are set.

   Note that different equivalence strings of the same logical name
   can have different translation attributes specified.


/USER_MODE
   Creates a user-mode logical name in the specified table.

   If you specify a user-mode logical name in the process logical
   name table, that logical name is used for the execution of
   a single image only; user-mode entries are deleted from the
   logical name table when any image executing in the process
   exits; that is, after any DCL command that executes an image or
   user program completes execution. Also, user-mode logical names
   are automatically deleted when invoking and exiting a command
   procedure.
