Configuring Disc Manager
Before using DISCMGR, you should understand the SWITCH command, which
lets you configure the DISCMGR working environment. The SWITCH command
includes several settings that you can turn on or off.
To display your current configuration, enter:
SWITCH
The resulting display on your screen might look like this:
Current DISCMGR environment parameters:
COLON ON
ECHO OFF
IGNORE OFF
MORE ON
PATH ON
These parameters can be used in a variety of ways. You can:
* Enter MPE commands without a preceding colon
To use MPE commands in DISCMGR without entering a preceding colon,
specify SWITCH COLON OFF.
* Echo commands while batch processing
If you include DISCMGR commands in a command file or job stream,
you may want to see the commands as they execute. Specifying
SWITCH ECHO ON displays the command currently being executed.
* Allow command files to continue processing after an error
Use SWITCH IGNORE ON to specify command file processing to
continue after an error, or SWITCH IGNORE OFF to stop command file
processing when an error occurs.
* Pause screen displays
When using the TYPE command, if you want screen displays to stop
and wait for a response when the screen is full, set SWITCH MORE
ON.
* Display current directory path
To make the prompt display the complete current path, use SWITCH
PATH ON.
If you change any of the settings, the changes will remain in effect only
until you exit from DISCMGR. When you restart DISCMGR, the configuration
will be set at the default settings.
NOTE If you wish, you can save your SWITCH commands in a DO file so that
you don't have to reenter them every time you start DISCMGR.
Instead, simply execute the DO file.
