VMS Help ALLOCATE, Parameters *Conan The Librarian |
device-name[:][,...]
Specifies the name of a physical device or a logical name that
translates to the name of a physical device. The device name
can be generic: if no controller or unit number is specified,
any device that satisfies the specified part of the name is
allocated. If more than one device is specified, the first
available device is allocated.
logical-name[:]
Specifies a string of 1 to 255 alphanumeric characters. Enclose
the string in single quotation marks (` ') if it contains
blanks. Trailing colons (:) are not used. The name becomes a
process logical name with the device name as the equivalence
name. The logical name remains defined until it is explicitly
deleted or your process terminates.
