Thus, yourcurrent namespace becomes the namespace you selected, but your current directory remainsthe directory that was current before you issued the ZNSPACE command.Controlling Namespace DisplayTerminal PromptBy default, the Caché Terminal prompt displays the current namespace name. This defaultis configurable:Go to the System Management Portal, select System Configuration, select Advanced Settings,on the pull-down Category list select ObjectScript. View and edit the current setting ofPromptShowsNamespace.This also sets the prompt for Telnet windows. You can override this default for the currentprocess by using $ZUTIL(68,26), or system-wide by using $ZUTIL(69,26).$NAME and $QUERY FunctionsThe $NAME and $QUERY functions can return the extended global reference form of aglobal variable, which includes the namespace name. You can control whether these functionsreturn namespace names as part of the global variable name. $ZUTIL(68,7) sets this extendedglobal reference switch for the current process; $ZUTIL(69,7) sets this extended global referenceswitch system-wide. For further information on extended global references, see GlobalStructure in Using Caché Multi-Dimensional Storage.Caché ObjectScript Reference 399
