Examples

   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.
