DCLTABLES and Command Definitions? (CLD)

» close window

The Question is:

 
How do I enter a new entry to the DCLTABLES on OpenVMS 7.2-1?
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  Temporarily (per process):
    $ SET COMMAND CLDFILE.CLD
 
  The new verb command definition is not passed to spawned subprocesses.
 
  Permanently:
    $ SET COMMAND CLDFILE.CLD -
      /TABLE=SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]DCLTABLES.EXE -
      /OUTPUT=SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]DCLTABLES.EXE
    $ INSTALL REPLACE SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]DCLTABLES.EXE
 
  Other options include the automatic foreign command (DCL$PATH) and
  foreign command mechanisms.
 
  Please see the _OpenVMS Command Definition, Librarian, and Message
  Utilities Manual_ for additional details on the command definition
  utility and associated mechanisms.  Information on the CLI API (CLI
  callbacks) is included in the utility routines reference manual.
 
  For the CLD mechanisms used within product installation procedures,
  please see the documentation for PCSI and for VMSINSTAL.
 
  Pointers to the OpenVMS documentation are included in the OpenVMS FAQ.
