24.3.2 The all_master.com file (OpenVMS)

Note

On UNIX platforms there is no equivalent of the all_master.com procedure. The PhoneNet and Pager channels set all terminal line characteristics from the channel options file.

On OpenVMS platforms, once a method is found, master.com executes the procedure all_master.com to set up and condition the terminal line. This file is used in lieu of the usual x_master.com command file that master.com invokes. all_master.com is invoked with device as its first parameter and options as its second parameter. These two parameters are drawn from the phone_list.dat file which is described in Section 24.3 above. A typical all_master.com file is shown in Example 24-3. You should supply what is appropriate for your terminals in your own all_master.com .

Example 24-3 A Sample PhoneNet all_master.com file

$ ! all_master.com - A sample all_master.com file 
$ ! 
$ IF P1 .NES. "" THEN GOTO USE_'P1' 
$ ! 
$ USE_AUTO_DIALER: 
$       ALLOCATE AUTO_DIALER 
$       SET TERM/SPEED=1200 AUTO_DIALER 
$       DEFINE TT AUTO_DIALER 
$       EXIT 
$ ! 
$ USE_MUX_LINE: 
$       ALLOCATE MUX_LINE 
$       DEFINE TT MUX_LINE 
$       EXIT 

The conditions and restrictions that apply to x_master.com files also apply to all_master.com . TT can be defined to point at a multi-equivalence logical name (i.e., a search list) as in the case of x_master.com If a search list is used the ALLOCATE commands should be removed.
