SWITCH 

The SWITCH command configures the DISCMGR working environment.  If you
change any of these settings, the changes will be in effect until you
exit from DISCMGR. The next time you start DISCMGR, the SWITCH settings
will be set at the default values.

Abbreviation:  SW

   [COLON ]
   [ECHO  ]
SW [IGNORE][ON/OFF]
   [MORE  ]
   [PATH  ]

COLON            When on, requires MPE commands to be entered with a
                 colon.  When off, allows MPE commands to be entered
                 without a colon.  (Default = On.)

ECHO             When on, prints the command to the $STDLIST device.
                 When off, does not echo commands.  (Default = Off.)

IGNORE           When on, allows DO files to continue processing after an
                 error.  When off, execution stops when an error is
                 encountered.  (Default = Off.)

MORE             When on, screen displays generated from the TYPE command
                 will stop when the screen is full and wait for a
                 response.  When off, screen displays will continue until
                 done.  (Default = On.)

PATH             When on, displays the complete current directory path.
                 When off, only the drive designator displays.  (Default
                 = On.)

If you enter the SWITCH command without any parameters, the current
DISCMGR configuration will display.  For example, you might see:

     Current DISCMGR environment parameters:
     COLON  ON
     ECHO   ON
     IGNORE OFF
     MORE   ON
     PATH   ON
