Meaning
The directories included in the
definition of this pathological
name will be searched when a file
is not found in the default
directory path when you issue a
LOOKUP monitor call. (This is
similar to .PTFSL, but allows
more flexibility.) PT.SEA can be
set for only one pathological
device. However, several
directories can be specified for
a single pathological name.
Deletes the definition of the
pathological name specified in
.PTLNM. You must also specify
function code -5 (.PTFSN) above.
Returns data about the
pathological name specified in
.PTLNM when you specify function
code -6 (.PTFRN). If this flag
is 0 for function .PTFRN, the
monitor returns, in .PTLNM, the
next pathological name defined in
the list.
-Reserved for use by DIGITAL.
Indicates that the file name and
extension specified in the
definition of the pathological
device should override those in
the argument block for
LOOKUP/ENTER calls. Used with
both .PTFRN and .PTFSN.
For example, when FOO/OVERRIDE is
defined as DSKA:FOO.DAT[1,2], a
LOOKUP of FOO:BAR.DAT will not
find BAR.DAT; it will find
FOO.DAT. When PT.OVR is not set,
the pathological name is used to
define defaults. For example,
when FOO is defined as
DSKA:FOO.DAT[1,2], a LOOKUP for
FOO:BAR would find BAR.DAT
2 .PTLNM
For function .PTFRN, set this word to 0 to return
the first pathological name in the list of names
defined for your job, or the next path name in
this word. For the .PTFSN function, this word
contains the path name (in SIXBIT) that you wish
to define or delete.
