Sets the prompting, logging and macro options.
Syntax
OP[TIONS]
[;PROM[PT] = prompt-flag]
[;C[OMMAND-]LOG = command-log-file]
[;I[NTRINSIC-]LOG = intrinsic-log-file]
[;LOG = [log-file-name]]
[;MAC[RO] = [macro-file-name]]
.
Parameters
prompt-flag The attribute prompting option. If prompting is
on, you are prompted for attribute values whenever
you issue a CREATE, MODIFY, or REPORT command is
without the ATTRIBUTE-LIST keyword. Valid choices
are:
on
off
The default is on when the system is running
interactively. If not running interactively,
prompting is off and cannot be turned on using this
command. (If you attempt to turn prompting on in
batch mode, a warning message is issued.)
See "Dictionary Attribute Prompting Facility" in
Chapter 3 for a complete discussion of attribute
prompting.
command-log-file The command logging option. Commands are logged if
command logging is on. Valid choices are:
on
off
The default is on if there is a valid log file when
the system is started (and you do not respond
with no to the overwrite prompt if running
interactively). The command that disables command
logging is not logged. However, the command that
enables command logging is logged.
intrinsic-log-file The System Dictionary transaction logging option.
This logging is in conjunction with IMAGE logging.
You must be logged on under the DA scope in
exclusive-update mode in order to change logging
from its current state. Valid choices are:
on
off
For more information on intrinsic logging, see the
SDSetControl intrinsic under Code 1 (intrinsic
logging) in the HP System Dictionary/XL Intrinsics
Reference Manual (32256-90002).
Logging is initially disabled by the initialization
process (SDINIT). Like IMAGE logging, System
Dictionary logging remains disabled until enabled
and once enabled, remains enabled until disabled
again.
See the IMAGE Data Base Management System Reference
Manual (32215-90003) for more information on IMAGE
transaction logging.
log-file-name Name of the new log file. If you enter the LOG
keyword with no value, the logging facility is
turned off. If you enter a file name, but the file
cannot be opened, the previous log file (if any) is
retained. If the new file is successfully opened,
command logging is activated even if it was turned
off before the command, (unless this command
disables logging).
macro-file-name Name of the new macro file. If you enter the MACRO
keyword with no value, the macro facility is turned
off. If you enter a file name, but the file cannot
be opened, the previous macro file (if there is
one) is retained.
Description
Only the values of the keywords you specify in the command are changed.
All other keyword values remain as they were before you issued the
command.
If not needed, you can turn command logging off to improve performance.
Open Mode: Any mode for all keywords except INTRINSIC-LOG, which
requires exclusive-update
Scope: Any scope for all keywords except INTRINSIC-LOG, which
requires the DA scope
Example
The following example sets attribute prompting OFF and specifies the file
mymacro to be used as the macro file.
>OPTIONS PROMPT = off;
>>MACRO = mymacro.
