SET DEFAULT SECTION FILE
Determines the section file you want EVE to create to save attributes, key
definitions, and other customizations, without your having to specify the
file each time. Default file type is .TPU$SECTION.
Example:
The following commands set your default section file as
MYSECT.TPU$SECTION in your top-level (or login) directory, and then
create that section file (or a new version of that file):
Command: SET DEFAULT SECTION FILE sys$login:mysect
Command: SAVE EXTENDED EVE
Usage notes:
o If you use SET DEFAULT SECTION FILE and do not specify a file on the
command line, EVE prompts you for one. The prompt shows the name of
the current default section file, if one is set. Typically, this is
SYS$LOGIN:EVE$SECTION.TPU$SECTION.
o The following table shows the effects of SET DEFAULT SECTION FILE,
depending on whether you enabled or disabled section file prompting for
saving attributes:
Attribute setting Effect with SET DEFAULT SECTION FILE
--------------------------------------------------------------------
SET SECTION FILE PROMPTING (Default.) When you save attributes,
EVE asks whether to save in a section
file. If you respond Yes, EVE saves
in your default section file without
prompting for the file name.
SET NOSECTION FILE PROMPTING When you save attributes, EVE saves
in your default section file without
any prompting.
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. See help on Attributes.
o Setting a default section file does not determine the section file
loaded at startup, but only the section file for saving attributes and
other customizations. For information about specifying a section file
at startup, see help on Section Files or see DCL help on EDIT/TPU
/SECTION.
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.
