chg-device command The chg-device command changes a tape device. Devices that can be used as tapes are listed with the list-device command. Some characteristics can be changed to either modify the behavior of a device or to replace a device by another one. The changes made with this command are not permanent and are lost when the virtual machine is rebooted. If no option is specified, the current value is retained.
chksum command The chksum command, in DM only, calculates a hexadecimal checksum for either an entire file or a list of items in the file, and outputs the results to a file.
choose.term command The choose.term BASIC program selects one of a variety of choices of terminal type characteristics as an alternative to using the term-type command.
cleanpibs command The cleanpibs BASIC program clears tandem connects for all ports logged on before port 0. This is used at coldstart time to make sure that any tandem information left over from a system crash does not get picked up.
clear-basic-locks macro The clear-basic-locks macro displays and clears all 992 BASIC execution locks.
clear-file command The clear-file command clears the dictionary or data section of the specified file of all items and retains the primary file space area.
clear-index command The clear-index command clears the specified B-tree index expression in the specified file, leaving only a null root. This command is not supported in the FSI.
clear-jobs command The clear-jobs command selects items with the status logoff or completed, and deletes them from the dm,jobs, file.
clear-locks command The clear-locks BASIC program clears all locks, or specific locks according to the options provided. When used with the i option, an optional host may be specified to release all item locks residing on a remote server.
cls command The cls command clears the screen, leaving the cursor at the : prompt at the bottom of the screen.
cmdu command The cmdu command from DM produces a report of the last TCL command issued by every active user on the system.
coldstart command The coldstart command initiates the sequence of activities that must be performed each time the system is powered on. Additionally, the coldstart command initializes the transaction log queue limit to 0 on a full restore and during a patch installation.
coldstart-accounts command The coldstart-accounts command is invoked by the coldstart to call the account-coldstart macro.
coldstart.log command The coldstart.log command records the type of shutdown taking place into the errors file.
compare command The compare command compares items line-by-line to find which lines have been inserted, deleted or changed.
compare-list command The compare-list BASIC program forms a single list from two lists using the intersection, union, or exclusion operators.
compile command The compile BASIC program invokes the BASIC compiler and translates the specified source code into executable object code with case-insensitivity.
compile-catalog command The compile-catalog BASIC program (CTRL+XC from within the Update processor) compiles and catalogs a BASIC program.
compile-run command The compile-run BASIC program (CTRL+XR from within the Update processor) compiles and runs a BASIC program.
compile.flash.all command The compile.flash.all command allows you to compile all BASIC programs currently compiled with FlashBASIC, either in one or all accounts on the system. The result is platform independent, optimized object code that does not require the existence of a C compiler.
console-blank command The console-blank BASIC program from the DM account sets the blank out time or turn off the blank out feature.
control-chars command The control-chars command enables or disables the entering of control characters at input, depending on the option specified.
conv-case command The conv-case BASIC program converts the characters within specified items plus the item-ID to uppercase or lowercase, according to the options provided.
converse command The converse BASIC program links the current process to a device. The target or slave device is put into a pass-through mode, allowing data in and out in raw mode.
copy command The copy command copies items to an output device, to another item-ID, or to another file.
copy-list command The copy-list command copies a saved list to either a new item-ID, a new file reference, or to the specified output device.
cp command The cp BASIC program copies the specified items to the printer via the spooler.
create-abs command The create-abs command sets aside a contiguous set of frames as the destination for loading the ABS code (the D3 virtual code). This space is called the ABS area.
create-account command The create-account BASIC program creates a new master dictionary, copies all the necessary items into it, and updates the mds file with the name and address.
create-file command The create-file BASIC program creates a new dictionary and data file, a dictionary-only file, or a new data section on an existing dictionary file; space is allocated and reserved if available.
create-index command The create-index BASIC program creates a new B-tree index in the specified file using the a (algebraic) processing code expression provided and ensures the a0 index case-sensitivity matches the item-ID case sensitivity.
create-macro command The create-macro BASIC program creates an executable macro from the last TCL command entered and places the macro in the master dictionary of the current account.
create-nqptrs command The create-nqptrs command in DM builds a Q-pointer for each D-pointer file in the dm account and adds them to the dm,newac, file.
crt-delimiters command The crt-delimiters command enables and disables the display of attribute and value marks. At boot time, the crt-delimiters command defaults to on. If the crt-delimiters command is executed without options, then it displays the current status.
ct command The ct BASIC program invokes the copy command and copies the specified items to the terminal.
cvtcpy utility The cvtcpy utility in the DM account copies a tape to another tape, including format and block conversions, and reads D3, CIE, Reality or Ultimate tape formats, with a block size up to 64 KB, and creates a D3 tape.
