///1SETDEF
Syntax:
SETDEF { d: {,d: {,d: {,d:}}}} {[ TEMPORARY = d: ] |
[ ORDER = (typ {,typ}) ]}
SETDEF [DISPLAY | NODISPLAY]
SETDEF [PAGE | NOPAGE]
SETDEF [US | UK]
Explanation:
SETDEF allows the user to display or define up to four drives
for the program search order, the drive for temporary files, and
the file type search order. The SETDEF definitions affect
only the loading of programs and/or execution of SUBMIT
(SUB) files. SETDEF turns on/off the system Display and Console
Page modes. When on, the system displays the location and name
of programs loaded or SUBmit files executed, and stops after
displaying one full console screen of information. SETDEF also
selects between US and UK date formats.
