Examples

   1.$ SET SYMBOL/SCOPE=NOLOCAL

     In this example, all local symbols defined in outer procedure
     levels are now undefined for the current procedure level and
     all inner procedure levels.

   2.$ SET SYMBOL/SCOPE=NOGLOBAL

     In this example, all global symbols are now inaccessible to the
     current procedure level and all inner procedure levels unless
     otherwise changed.

   3.$ NOW :== SHOW TIME
     $ !
     $ NOW
        3-NOV-2001 11:48:58
     $ !
     $ SET SYMBOL /VERB /SCOPE=NOGLOBAL
     $ NOW
     %DCL-W-IVVERB, unrecognized command verb-check validity and spelling
      \NOW\
     $ !
     $ SHOW SYMBOL NOW
       NOW == "SHOW TIME"

     This example demonstrates the use of the /VERB qualifier.

     The symbol NOW is assigned to the SHOW TIME command. The
     next line shows the default behavior, where DCL attempts to
     translate the first string on the command line (NOW). Because
     NOW translates to the SHOW TIME command, this is used instead
     of NOW.

     The SET SYMBOL command on the next line changes the behavior
     so that DCL does not attempt a translation. When NOW is
     subsequently entered, DCL uses the string NOW as the command
     verb and cannot find it in the command table. This results in
     the error message.

     Notice that the scoping of the verb translation has no effect
     on general symbol translations, as demonstrated by the SHOW
     SYMBOL command in the example.
