DEV

Speci￿es a parameter with one or more of three parameter

 

options: device, outpri, or numcopies . If you use DEV, you

 

must include at least one of these parameters or the # sym bol,

 

which speci￿es the default device class of DISC.

 

You can use a previously de￿ned en vironment identi￿er for

 

the DEV parameter, but y ou cannot use the domain and

 

organization quali￿ers.

 

Descriptions of the parameter options are as follo ws:

 

deviceSpeci￿es the logical device class name or

 

 

logical device number of a device, such as a

 

 

disk, tape, prin ter, or a terminal. The default

 

 

is DISC.

 

outpriSpeci￿es the output priorit y requested for an

 

 

output spool ￿le, whic h can range from 1 (the

 

 

lowest priority) to 13 (the highest priorit y).

 

numcopies

Speci￿es the number of copies requested for an

 

 

output spool ￿le. The maximum n umber is

 

 

127.

REC

Speci￿es a parameter with the following parameter options:

 

recsize

Indicates the record size. If y ou do not use the

 

 

DEV parameter, the default is DISC with 1023

 

 

records.

A positive number indicates words; a negativ e number indicates bytes. For ￿xed-length ￿les, recsize is the logical record size. F or unde￿ned-length ￿les, recsize is the maximum record size. For variable-length ￿les, recsize is the maximum logical record size if the blockfactor is 1.

Only this parameter option applies to $STDIN , $STDINX , or $STDLIST . If you specify other parameter options for these ￿les, the FILE command returns an error.
