1 – ELEMENT
Places one or more elements or groups in the specified group or
groups.
Format:
INSERT ELEMENT element-expression group-expression "remark"
1.1 – Restrictions
o You cannot insert an element into a group that has read-only
access.
o You cannot insert an element into a group if the element
already belongs to the group.
o You cannot insert an element into a group in another library
(the element and group must be in the same library).
1.2 – Command Parameters
element-expression
Specifies one or more elements to be inserted into the group.
An element expression can be an element name, a group name, a
wildcard expression, or a list of these separated by commas.
group-expression
Specifies one or more groups into which the element or elements is
to be inserted. A group expression can be a group name, a wildcard
expression, or a list of these separated by commas.
remark
Specifies a character string to be logged in the history file
with this command, usually used to explain why the command was
entered. The remark is enclosed in quotation marks. If no remark
was entered, a null remark ("") is logged.
1.3 – Description
The INSERT ELEMENT command places one or more elements or groups
into one or more groups. The groups must already exist. When you
use the INSERT ELEMENT command with a group name, you insert the
contents of the group. For example, if you insert group A into
group B by using the INSERT ELEMENT command, group B will contain
the contents of group A at the time of the insertion transaction.
If the contents of group A change at a later time, the contents of
group B are not affected. To insert a group into another group,
use the INSERT GROUP command.
1.4 – Qualifiers
1.4.1 /CONFIRM
Controls whether CMS prompts you for confirmation before each
transaction.
When you specify /CONFIRM and run CMS in interactive mode, CMS
prompts you for confirmation. If you type YES, ALL, TRUE, or 1,
CMS executes the transaction. If you type NO, QUIT, FALSE, 0,
or press RETURN or CTRL/Z, no action is performed. If you type
any other character, CMS continues to prompt until you type an
acceptable response.
CMS does not prompt for confirmation in batch mode.
1.4.2 /IF_ABSENT
Directs CMS to insert the element only if the group does not
already contain that element. If the element already belongs to
the group, CMS takes no action and does not return an error.
1.4.3 /LOG (D)
Controls whether CMS displays success and informational messages
on the default output device. By default, if the command executes
successfully, CMS displays a success message. If you specify
/NOLOG, success and informational messages are suppressed. Any
warning, error, or fatal error messages are displayed regardless
of whether /LOG or /NOLOG is specified.
1.4.4 /OCCLUDE[=option,...]
Controls whether CMS selects the first instance of the specified
object, or all instances of the specified object in the library
search list. The options field contains one or more keywords
associated with the name of the object. The options field can
contain the following keywords:
ALL--equivalent to (ELEMENT, GROUP)
ELEMENT (D)
NOELEMENT
GROUP (D)
NOGROUP
NONE--equivalent to (NOELEMENT, NOGROUP)
You can specify either ALL or NONE, or any combination of the
[NO]ELEMENT and [NO]GROUP keywords.
By default, CMS performs occlusion for all objects; that is, CMS
selects only the first occurrence of a specified object.
1.5 – Examples
(1) CMS> INSERT ELEMENT INIT.FOR TIME_TST "for time tests"
%CMS-S-INSERTED, element DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]INIT.FOR
inserted into DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]group TIME_TST
This command inserts the element INIT.FOR into the group named
TIME_TST.
(2) CMS> INSERT ELEMENT DBAS EXAMPLES "more examples for book"
%CMS-I-INSERTED, element DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]ARTFIG.CXS
inserted into DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]group EXAMPLES
%CMS-I-INSERTED, element DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]SNAKE.TXT
inserted into DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]group EXAMPLES
This command inserts the contents of group DBAS into group
EXAMPLES.
2 – GENERATION
Places one or more element generations in the specified class or
classes.
Format:
INSERT GENERATION element-expression class-expression "remark"
2.1 – Restrictions
o You cannot insert an element generation into a class that has
read-only access.
o A class can contain only one generation of any particular
element.
o You cannot insert a generation into a class in another library
(the generation and class must be in the same library).
2.2 – Command Parameters
element-expression
Specifies one or more elements whose generations are to be
inserted into the class. An element expression can be an element
name, a group name, a wildcard expression, or a list of these
separated by commas. By default, the most recent generation on the
main line of descent is inserted.
class-expression
Specifies an established class into which the element generation
is being placed. The class must not have the read-only attribute.
A class expression can be a class name, a wildcard expression, or
a list of these separated by commas.
remark
Specifies a character string to be logged in the history file
with this command, usually used to explain why the command was
entered. The remark is enclosed in quotation marks. If no remark
was entered, a null remark ("") is logged.
2.3 – Description
The INSERT GENERATION command places the specified element
generation into one or more classes. The class or classes must
already exist. (See the description of the CREATE CLASS command.)
A class can contain only one generation of an element. You
cannot insert any generations into a class that has the read-only
attribute. (See the description of the MODIFY CLASS command.)
2.4 – Qualifiers
2.4.1 /ALWAYS
Directs CMS to insert the element generation into the class in
all cases. If the class already contains a generation from the
specified element, that generation is removed before the new one
is inserted.
2.4.2 /BEFORE=date-time
Directs CMS to insert the element generation based on the
/GENERATION qualifier or the latest generation on the main line
of descent if there is no qualifier. The generation inserted is
the latest ancestor of the generation determined above that
pre-dates the specified time. If no generation pre-dates that
time (i.e. generation 1 is later) then no generation is inserted.
The time value can be an absolute, delta, or combination time
value, or one of the following keywords: TODAY, TOMORROW, or
YESTERDAY. If the time value is a future value, CMS uses the
current time. If no time value is supplied, CMS used TODAY.
2.4.3 /CONFIRM
Controls whether CMS prompts you for confirmation before each
transaction.
When you specify /CONFIRM and run CMS in interactive mode, CMS
prompts you for confirmation. If you type YES, ALL, TRUE, or 1,
CMS executes the transaction. If you type NO, QUIT, FALSE, 0,
or press RETURN or CTRL/Z, no action is performed. If you type
any other character, CMS continues to prompt until you type an
acceptable response.
CMS does not prompt for confirmation in batch mode.
2.4.4 /GENERATION[=generation-expression]
Specifies a particular generation of the element that is to be
inserted into the class. If you omit /GENERATION, the INSERT
command uses the latest generation on the main line of descent.
2.4.5 /IF_ABSENT
Directs CMS to insert the element generation into the class only
if a generation of that element is not already in the class. If a
generation of the element is already in the class, CMS takes no
action and does not return an error.
2.4.6 /LOG (D)
Controls whether CMS displays success and informational messages
on the default output device. By default, if the command executes
successfully, CMS displays a success message. If you specify
/NOLOG, success and informational messages are suppressed. Any
warning, error, or fatal error messages are displayed regardless
of whether /LOG or /NOLOG is specified.
2.4.7 /OCCLUDE[=option,...]
Controls whether CMS selects the first instance of the specified
object, or all instances of the specified object in the library
search list. The options field contains one or more keywords
associated with the name of the object. The options field can
contain the following keywords:
ALL--equivalent to (ELEMENT, GROUP, CLASS)
ELEMENT (D)
NOELEMENT
GROUP (D)
NOGROUP
CLASS (D)
NOCLASS
NONE--equivalent to (NOELEMENT, NOGROUP, NOCLASS)
You can specify either ALL or NONE, or any combination of the
[NO]ELEMENT, [NO]GROUP, and [NO]CLASS keywords.
By default, CMS performs occlusion for all objects; that is, CMS
selects only the first occurrence of a specified object.
2.4.8 /SUPERSEDE
2.4.9 /NOSUPERSEDE (D)
Controls whether CMS removes a generation of the element that
exists in the class and replaces it with the specified generation.
(Using /SUPERSEDE is the equivalent of using the REMOVE command
before the INSERT command.)
If you specify /SUPERSEDE and there is no generation of the
specified element already in the class, an error message is
issued and the generation is not inserted into the class. You
cannot use the /IF_ABSENT qualifier on the same command line as
the /SUPERSEDE qualifier to override this action.
If you omit the /SUPERSEDE qualifier and a generation of the
element already exists in the class, an error message is issued
and no change is made to the library.
2.5 – Examples
(1) CMS> INSERT GENERATION INIT.FOR PRE_RELEASE_V3 "internal version"
%CMS-S-GENINSERTED, generation 2 of element
DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]INIT.FOR inserted into class
DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB] PRE_RELEASE_V3
This command inserts the default generation of element INIT.FOR
into the class PRE_RELEASE_V3.
(2) CMS> INSERT GENERATION INIT.FOR,SPEC.TXT/GENERATION=3 -
_CMS> /IF_ABSENT/CONFIRM
_Class name: BASELEVEL_1 "inserting generation 3 for final baselevel
Insert generation 3 of element INIT.FOR into class BASELEVEL_1?
[Y/N] (N): Y
%CMS-I-GENINSERTED, generation 3 of element
DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]INIT.FOR inserted into class
DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]BASELEVEL_1
Insert generation 3 of element SPEC.TXT into class BASELEVEL_1?
[Y/N] (N): Y
%CMS-I-GENINSERTED, generation 3 of element
DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]SPEC.TXT inserted into class
DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]BASELEVEL_1
CMS-I-INSERTIONS, 2 insertions completed
This example inserts generation 3 of both elements INIT.FOR
and SPEC.TXT into the class BASELEVEL_1. The /IF_ABSENT
qualifier indicates that the generations should be inserted
only if they are not already present in the class. The /CONFIRM
qualifier directs CMS to prompt you for confirmation before
each insertion.
3 – GROUP
Places one or more groups into the specified group or groups.
Format:
INSERT GROUP subgroup-expression group-expression "remark"
3.1 – Restrictions
o You cannot insert a group into another group that has read-only
access.
o You can insert a group into another group only once.
o You cannot create recursive groups; that is, a group cannot
directly or indirectly be a member of itself.
o You cannot insert a group from one library into a group in
another library (both groups must be in the same library).
3.2 – Command Parameters
subgroup-expression
Specifies one or more groups to be inserted into a second group
(indicated by group-expression). A subgroup expression can be a
group name, a wildcard expression, or a list of these separated by
commas.
group-expression
Specifies the group into which subgroup-expression is to be
inserted. A group expression can be a group name, a wildcard
expression, or a list of these separated by commas.
remark
Specifies a character string to be logged in the history file
with this command, usually used to explain why the command was
entered. The remark is enclosed in quotation marks. If no remark
was entered, a null remark ("") is logged.
3.3 – Description
The INSERT GROUP command inserts one or more groups into one
or more other groups. Both groups must exist. When you use the
INSERT GROUP command to insert group A into group B, the elements
accessible through group B change as the contents of group A
change. A group cannot be a member of itself; that is, it cannot
be a subgroup of itself. For example, you cannot insert group A
into group B if group A already contains group B.
3.4 – Qualifiers
3.4.1 /CONFIRM
Controls whether CMS prompts you for confirmation before each
transaction.
When you specify /CONFIRM and run CMS in interactive mode, CMS
prompts you for confirmation. If you type YES, ALL, TRUE, or 1,
CMS executes the transaction. If you type NO, QUIT, FALSE, 0,
or press RETURN or CTRL/Z, no action is performed. If you type
any other character, CMS continues to prompt until you type an
acceptable response.
CMS does not prompt for confirmation in batch mode.
3.4.2 /IF_ABSENT
Directs CMS to insert subgroup-expression into group-expression
only if group-expression does not already contain it. If subgroup-
expression already belongs to group-expression, CMS takes no
action and does not return an error.
3.4.3 /LOG (D)
Controls whether CMS displays success and informational messages
on the default output device. By default, if the command executes
successfully, CMS displays a success message. If you specify
/NOLOG, success and informational messages are suppressed. Any
warning, error, or fatal error messages are displayed regardless
of whether /LOG or /NOLOG is specified.
3.4.4 /OCCLUDE[=option,...]
Controls whether CMS selects the first instance of the specified
object, or all instances of the specified object in the library
search list. The options field contains one or more keywords
associated with the name of the object. The options field can
contain the following keywords:
ALL--equivalent to GROUP
GROUP (D)
NOGROUP
NONE--equivalent to NOGROUP
You can specify either ALL, NONE, or the [NO]GROUP keyword.
By default, CMS performs occlusion for all objects; that is, CMS
selects only the first occurrence of a specified object.
3.5 – Example
CMS> INSERT GROUP USER_MANUAL CODE_AND_DOCS "user documentation"
%CMS-S-INSERTED, group DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]USER_MANUAL inserted
into group DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]CODE_AND_DOCS
This command inserts the group named USER_MANUAL into the group
named CODE_AND_DOCS. As long as group USER_MANUAL belongs to
group CODE_AND_DOCS, any changes to the contents of USER_MANUAL
are reflected in the contents of CODE_AND_DOCS. Any element
accessible through USER_MANUAL is also accessible through CODE_
AND_DOCS.
