Specifying Groups
The syntax of the FILE and NEW parameters has changed from filename to
filename[.groupsymbol]. A groupsymbol can be up to 17 characters long.
It must begin with a letter and be followed by alphanumeric characters,
underscores ("_"), or periods ("."). You may use the groupsymbol with
all HP SRC commands except ADDUSER, DELUSER, CHGUSER, LISTUSERS,
RECOVERSTAT, and SRCHELP. Like MPE XL filenames, groupsymbols are not
case sensitive.
If you always plan to specify the TO and FROM parameters, the groupsymbol
does not have to be a valid MPE XL group name. When the groupsymbol
portion of the FILE parameter is left blank and the TO and FROM
parameters are also left blank, the group used in the statement being
executed defaults to the logon group. That is, leaving groupsymbol blank
would be like using HP SRC before this enhancement. If groupsymbol is
specified in the FILE parameter, and the parameters TO and FROM are left
blank, the group used in the statement being executed becomes this
groupsymbol. For this case, groupsymbol must be a valid MPE XL group.
Once you check in a file using a groupsymbol, you can access the file
only by specifying both the file name and groupsymbol.
