ASSOCIATE


     Gives a user operator control of a device class.  (CM)

SYNTAX


     ASSOCIATE devclass


PARAMETERS


devclass            The name of a logical device class configured
                    during SYSGEN.


OPERATION


     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 will 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 will 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.

     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.

     The operator commands which are made available to users
     through the ASSOCIATE command are

     ABORTIO                     OUTFENCE
     ACCEPT                      REFUSE
     ALTSPOOLFILE                REPLY
     DELETESPOOLFILE             RESUMESPOOL
     DISCRPS                     SHUTQ
     DOWN                        SPOOLER
     DOWNLOAD                    STARTSPOOL
     FORMSALIGN                  STOPSPOOL
     HEADOFF                     SUSPENDSPOOL
     HEADON                      UP
     OPENQ

     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.
