Gives a user operator control of a device class. (CM)
ASSOCIATE devclass
devclass The name of a logical device class configured during SYSGEN.
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.
