Associates equivalence names with a logical name. If you specify an
existing logical name, the new equivalence names replace the existing
equivalence names.

Format
 ASSIGN equivalence-name,... logical-name

/MERGE/QUEUE

equivalence-name
 A character string of 1 to 255 characters. If the string contains
 other than upper case alphanumeric, dollar sign, or underscore
 characters, enclose it in quotation marks ("). Use double quotation
 marks ("") to denote an actual quotation mark. Specifying more than
 one equivalence name for a logical name creates a search list.
logical-name
 A character string of 1 through 255 characters. If the string contains
 other than upper case alphanumeric, dollar sign, or underscore
 characters, enclose it in quotation marks ("). Use double quotation
 marks ("") to denote an actual quotation mark. If you terminate
 logical-name with a colon, the system removes the colon. If the
 logical name is to be entered into the process or system directory
 logical name tables, then the name may only have from 1 to 31
 alphanumeric characters (including the dollar sign and underscore).
 Avoid assigning a logical name that matches the file name of an
 executable image in SYS$SYSTEM:.  Such an assignment will prohibit
 you from invoking that image.

/USER_MODE

 /SUPERVISOR_MODE (default)
 /USER_MODE
 Executive mode requires SYSNAM privilege.
 Specifies the mode of the 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. 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 or user program that executes an
 image) completes execution.

 /JOB
 /PROCESS (default)
 /SYSTEM
 Group logical names require SYSPRV or GRPNAM privilege.
 System logical names require SYSNAM or SYSPRV privilege.
 Specifies the table in which the logical name is to be placed. The
 /GROUP qualifier is synonymous with /TABLE=LNM$GROUP. The /JOB
 qualifier is synonymous with /TABLE=LNM$JOB. The /PROCESS qualifier is
 synonymous with /TABLE=LNM$PROCESS. The /SYSTEM qualifier is
 synonymous with /TABLE=LNM$SYSTEM.

 See /GROUP.

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

 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. 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.  Deletes any |
 |          | previously created, identical names in an     |
 |          | outer access mode within the specified table. |
 +----------+-----------------------------------------------+

 See /GROUP.

 See /EXECUTIVE_MODE.

 See /GROUP.

 Requires WRITE access to the table if the table is shareable.
 Specifies the name of the logical name table in which the logical name
 is to be entered. You can specify user-defined tables (created with
 the CREATE/NAME_TABLE command), the process, group, job, or system
 logical name table, or the process or system logical name directory
 table. The default is LNM$PROCESS. If you specify a table name that
 translates to more than one table, the logical name is placed in the
 first table found.

 Qualifies each equivalence-name.
 Specifies attributes of the equivalence-name. Possible keywords
 are:

 +-----------+----------------------------------------------+
 | CONCEALED | Indicates that the equivalence string is the |
 |           | name of a concealed device                   |
 +-----------+----------------------------------------------+
 | TERMINAL  | Terminates logical name translation after    |
 |           | iterative translation of this equivalence    |
 |           | string                                       |

 See /EXECUTIVE_MODE.

Removes all jobs from one queue and merges them into another existing
queue. Does not affect jobs that are executing.

Format
 ASSIGN/MERGE merge-queue-name source-queue-name

 Requires the Secure User Environment Option.

 Requires OPER privilege or EXECUTE access to both queues.

Additional information available:

Parameters

merge-queue-name
 Name of the queue into which the jobs are being merged.
source-queue-name
 Name of the queue from which the jobs are being removed.

Assigns, or redirects, a logical queue to a single execution queue.

Format
 ASSIGN/QUEUE execution-queue-name[:] logical-queue-name[:]

 Requires the Secure User Environment Option.

 Requires OPER privilege or EXECUTE access to both queues.

Additional information available:

Parameters

execution-queue-name[:]
 Name of the execution queue. The queue cannot be a logical, generic,
 or batch queue.
logical-queue-name[:]
 Name of the logical queue.
