EVE SET_NODEFAULT_SECTION_FILE — VMS 5.4

 SET NODEFAULT SECTION FILE

 (Default.)  Cancels the default section file for saving attributes and
 other customizations.

 Example:

    If you always want to save in a command file instead of a section file,
    you can use (and save) the following commands, so that when you save
    attributes, EVE asks whether to save in a command file and shows the
    name of your default command file in the prompt line:

       Command: SET NODEFAULT SECTION FILE
       Command: SET NOSECTION FILE PROMPTING
       Command: SET DEFAULT COMMAND FILE

 Usage notes:

 o  This does not determine the section file executed at startup, but only
    the section file for saving your customizations.  For information about
    specifying a section file at startup, see DCL help on EDIT/TPU/SECTION.

 o  The following table shows the effects of SET NODEFAULT SECTION FILE,
    depending on whether you enabled or disabled section file prompting for
    saving attributes:

    SET SECTION FILE PROMPTING      (Default.)  When you save attributes,
                                    EVE askes you whether to save in a
                                    section file.  If you respond Yes,
                                    EVE asks for the section file name.

    SET NOSECTION FILE PROMPTING    When you save attributes, EVE asks
                                    whether to save in a command file---
                                    without prompting for a section file.

 o  These settings or effects apply when you use SAVE ATTRIBUTES or SAVE
    SYSTEM ATTRIBUTES, or when you save attributes as part of exiting or
    quitting.

 o  To save your setting for future editing sessions, use SAVE ATTRIBUTES
    to create a section file or to create or update a command file.  See
    help on Attributes.
