ASSOCIATE
Gives a user operator control of a device class.
Syntax
ASSOCIATE devclass
Parameters
devclass The name of a logical device class configured with
SYSGEN.
Operation Notes
This command links a device class, such as LP, to an individual user on
the system. The user may then execute any valid operator command for a
device in the device class and receive the status messages for the
devices in that device class on $STDLIST. For example, a remote printer
may be associated with a terminal, so that messages concerning the
printer go to the terminal, not the system console.
Before a user can be associated, the system manager must run a utility
program (the version of ASOCTBL.PUB.SYS that matches your operating
system) in order to create a device class/user association table. This
table defines which users may be associated with which device classes.
At any given time, only one user may be associated with a given device
class. If the device belongs in several device classes, only one of
those device classes may be associated.
The operator commands, which may be made available to users through the
ASSOCIATE command, are:
ABORTIO OUTFENCE
ACCEPT REFUSE
ALTSPOOLFILE REPLY
DELETESPOOLFILE RESUMESPOOL
DISCRPS SHUTQ
DOWN SPOOLER
DOWNLOAD STARTSPOOL

HEADOFF SUSPENDSPOOL

Both the system supervisor and the user may DISASSOCIATE a user from a
device. In addition, a user implicitly disassociates a device when
logging off.
Use
This command may be issued from a session, program, or in BREAK. It may
not be used from a job. Pressing Break has no effect on this command.
Example
To be the controller of the device class TAPE, enter:
