VMS Help DTM, MODIFY, VARIABLE  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

   Modifies variable definitions in the Digital Test Manager library.

   Format

     MODIFY VARIABLE  variable-expression [/qualifier...] "remark"

1 - Command Qualifiers

 1.1 - /GLOBAL

   Makes the variable expression globally accessible. You cannot
   specify both the /LOCAL and /GLOBAL qualifiers with the same
   MODIFY VARIABLE command.

 1.2 - /LOCAL

   Makes the variable expression locally accessible. You cannot
   specify both the /LOCAL and /GLOBAL qualifiers with the same
   MODIFY VARIABLE command.

 1.3 - /LOG

   /LOG (D)
   /NOLOG

   Controls whether Digital Test Manager displays informational and
   success messages on your screen.

 1.4 - /LOGICAL

   Changes a variable from a OpenVMS symbol to a OpenVMS logical name. You
   cannot specify both the /LOGICAL and /SYMBOL qualifiers with the
   same MODIFY VARIABLE command.

 1.5 - /NUMERIC

   Changes a string variable of a symbol to numeric value. You cannot
   specify the /NUMERIC and /STRING qualifiers with the same MODIFY
   VARIABLE command.

 1.6 - /REMARK

   /REMARK="string"
   /NOREMARK

   Determines whether to replace or remove the existing remark.

   The /REMARK qualifier replaces any existing remark with the
   specified remark. The /NOREMARK qualifier removes the remark
   string from the variable, leaving the remark field value null.

 1.7 - /STRING

   Changes a numeric variable of a symbol to a string. You cannot
   specify the /NUMERIC and /STRING qualifiers with the same MODIFY
   VARIABLE command.

 1.8 - /SYMBOL

   Changes a variable from a OpenVMS logical name to a OpenVMS symbol. You
   must define variables used as symbols as either numeric or string
   variable types. You cannot specify both the /LOGICAL and /SYMBOL
   qualifiers with the same MODIFY VARIABLE command.

 1.9 - /VALUE

   /VALUE=value

   Changes the value of the variable. A value specified with the
   MODIFY VARIABLE command replaces any previous value for the
   variable.

2 - Example

   DTM> MODIFY VARIABLE INPUT_FILE/VALUE=INPUT.RNO
   _Remark: Replacing value of INPUT_FILE with INPUT.RNO
   %DTM-S-MODIFIED, variable INPUT_FILE modified.
   DTM>

   This example assigns a new default value to the variable
   INPUT_FILE.
