D3Tcl command (Windows) The D3Tcl command connects a remote VME with a TCL command from MS-DOS.
database-pause Command The database-pause command temporarily suspends disk writes to allow for external backups or snap-shot of disks to be taken.
database-resume Command The database-resume command resumes database disk writes when a database-pause condition is in effect.
date command The date BASIC program returns an internal, external, or Julian date derived from a date provided, or displays a calendar for the month and year of the date provided.
dcd command The dcd BASIC program toggles or displays the status of data carrier detect on the specified port.
debug command (TCL commands) The debug command enters the system debugger (if at TCL) or enters the BASIC/ debugger (if running a FlashBASIC program).
decatalog command The decatalog command removes the compiled BASIC or FlashBASIC object code of the specified items from the dictionary of the specified file, and removes the corresponding command entry (or entries) from the master dictionary of the current account.
decrypt-file command The decrypt-file command returns an encrypted file back to its original unencrypted format.
define-terminal command The define-terminal BASIC program displays the available terminal (driver) definitions and allows changing existing definitions or adding new ones.
define-up command The define-up BASIC program provides a front-end for defining a keyboard for the Update processor. It builds a keyboard item that is used by the set-imap program to translate the keyboard keys entered into Update processor commands. It automatically detects whether the keyboard needs the extended character set enabled. After filing the item in the define-up program, then execute a set-imap terminal-name (c command to put the new translations into effect.
delete command The delete BASIC program deletes one or more items from the given file.
delete-account command The delete-account BASIC program deletes an entire account, and all the associated files, returning the space used to the overflow table and removing the account name from the mds file.
delete-file command The delete-file BASIC program releases all frames used by the specified file to the overflow table, and removes the file reference from the master dictionary of the current account.
delete-index command The delete-index BASIC program removes either a specific B-tree index from a specified file, or all indexes if an asterisk is specified.
delete-list command The delete-list command removes a list previously saved with a save-list command. This command deletes a list from a specified file name, otherwise it defaults to the pointer-file file. If no list name is provided, the default list name, %user-ID, is deleted.
deoptimize command The deoptimize command removes the flash-compiled object code from the object code item, leaving the non-flash object code. This command may be used at a select prompt to deoptimize a select group of programs.
dev-att command The dev-att BASIC program attaches an unattached port to the current process. This command only changes ownership and is required prior to using the get or send statements in BASIC.
dev-det command The dev-det BASIC program detaches the port currently attached from the current process. The user gives up exclusive ownership of the port previously attached by the dev-att command and makes the port available to other users.
dev-list command The dev-list BASIC program lists all current devices on the system.
dev-make command (UNIX) The dev-make BASIC program adds an entity to the system. This command is normally used to add devices to the system. The most common usage is to create a serial device to be used with the BASIC get and send statements, even if there is no D3 process connected to the device.
dev-make command (Windows) The dev-make BASIC program creates devices connected to the VME. Devices can be removed with the dev-remov command.
dev-remov command The dev-remov BASIC program removes a specific device from the system. This command is not allowed to remove special devices, such as the BB (byte bucket) or the CO (Console). Additionally, the dev-remov command prevents the removal of tape devices that are already attached or if a higher device number is already attached.
diag command The diag command invokes the internal system diagnostics utility.
dialer command The dialer BASIC program controls the dialer subsystem, which allows transferring data to remote systems over the phone in a batch mode.
dialer-copy command The dialer-copy command queues one or more items for copy to a remote system through the dialer subsystem.
disc command The disc command disconnects the current process from the D3 virtual machine.
div command The div command divides the first integer number provided by the second integer number provided and displays the result as an integer quotient and remainder.
divx command The divx command divides the first hexadecimal number by the second hexadecimal number and displays the result as a hexadecimal quotient and remainder.
dm macro The dm logon macro for the Data Manager account, issues an exec abs command each time a user logs on to the dm account.
download command The download BASIC program downloads font files to a laser printer.
dtr-off command The dtr-off macro turns off data terminal ready.
dtr-on command The dtr-on command turns on data terminal ready on another port, or the current port if none is specified.
dtx command The dtx command converts a given decimal (integer) number to its corresponding hexadecimal equivalent.
dump command The dump command displays or prints the contents of one or more frames of the VME in ASCII (character), EBCDIC or hexadecimal format.
