DEFLIT
Define a literal logical name.
Parameters
logical-name
Specifies the logical name string. The logical name string can
contain from 1 to 255 characters.
By default, the logical name is placed in the application logi-
cal name table. The string may contain any characters that
constitute a valid logical name.
required-flag
Indicates whether to check for existance of the device, di-
rectory or file specified by the equivalence-name, and what
behaviour to take if its is not found. This flag is ignored by
the DEFLIT command.
equivalence-name[,...]
Defines the equivalence names to be associated with the log-
ical name. An equivalence name string can contain from
1 to 255 characters. If the string contains any characters
other than alphanumerics, the dollar sign, or the under-
score character, enclose the string in quotation marks (i.e.
"equivalence-name"). If the equivalence name contains quo-
tation marks, enclose the string in quotation marks and use
double quotation marks ("") in the places where you want a
quotation mark (") to occur.
The DEFLIT command allows you to assign the same logical
name to more than one equivalence name. When you specify
more than one equivalence name for a logical name, you cre-
ate a search list. See the OpenVMS DCL Concepts Manual
for more information on search lists.
