1 /ALL
Deletes all logical names in the same or an outer (less
privileged) access mode. If no logical name table is specified,
the default is the process table, LNM$PROCESS. If you specify the
/ALL qualifier, you cannot enter a logical-name parameter.
2 /CLUSTER_SYSTEM
You must be signed in to the SYSTEM account or have SYSNAM
(system logical name) or SYSPRV (system) privilege to deassign
a clusterwide logical name.
Deassigns a logical name from the LNM$SYSCLUSTER table.
3 /EXECUTIVE_MODE
Requires SYSNAM (system logical name) privilege to deassign
executive-mode logical names.
Deletes only entries that were created in the specified mode
or an outer (less privileged) mode. If you do not have SYSNAM
privilege for executive mode, a supervisor-mode operation is
assumed.
4 /GROUP
Requires GRPNAM (group logical name) or SYSPRV privilege to
delete entries from the group logical name table.
Indicates that the specified logical name is in the group
logical name table. The /GROUP qualifier is synonymous with the
/TABLE=LNM$GROUP qualifier.
5 /JOB
Indicates that the specified logical name is in the jobwide
logical name table. The /JOB qualifier is synonymous with the
/TABLE=LNM$JOB qualifier. If you do not explicitly specify a
logical name table, the default is the /PROCESS qualifier.
You should not deassign jobwide logical name entries that were
made by the system at login time, for example, SYS$LOGIN,
SYS$LOGIN_DEVICE, and SYS$SCRATCH. However, if you assign new
equivalence names for these logical names (that is, create new
logical names in outer access modes), you can deassign the names
you explicitly created.
6 /LOG
/LOG (default)
/NOLOG
/NOLOG overrides the default /LOG to suppress output of a fatal
error that would be returned if the specified logical name were
not found. When you specify /NOLOG, $STATUS is set to Success
instead of to Fatal and no error message is output.
7 /PROCESS
/PROCESS (default)
Indicates that the specified logical name is in the process
logical name table. The /PROCESS qualifier is synonymous with
the /TABLE=LNM$PROCESS qualifier.
You cannot deassign logical name table entries that were made by
the command interpreter, for example, SYS$INPUT, SYS$OUTPUT, and
SYS$ERROR. However, if you assign new equivalence names for these
logical names (that is, create new logical names in outer access
modes), you can deassign the names you explicitly created.
8 /SUPERVISOR_MODE
/SUPERVISOR_MODE (default)
Deletes entries in the specified logical name table that were
created in supervisor mode. If you specify the /SUPERVISOR_MODE
qualifier, the DEASSIGN command also deassigns user-mode entries
with the same name.
9 /SYSTEM
Indicates that the specified logical name is in the system
logical name table. The /SYSTEM qualifier is synonymous with
the /TABLE=LNM$SYSTEM qualifier.
10 /TABLE
/TABLE=name
Specifies the table from which the logical name is to be deleted.
Defaults to LNM$PROCESS. The table can be the process, group,
job, or system table, one of the directory tables, or the name
of a user-created table. (The process, job, group, and system
logical name tables should be referred to by the logical names
LNM$PROCESS, LNM$JOB, LNM$GROUP, and LNM$SYSTEM, respectively.)
The /TABLE qualifier also can be used to delete a logical name
table. To delete a process-private table, enter the following
command:
$ DEASSIGN/TABLE=LNM$PROCESS_DIRECTORY table-name
To delete a shareable table, enter the following command:
$ DEASSIGN/TABLE=LNM$SYSTEM_DIRECTORY table-name
To delete a shareable logical name table, you must have delete
(D) access to the table or write (W) access to the directory
table in which the name of the shareable table is cataloged.
If you do not explicitly specify the /TABLE qualifier, the
default is the /TABLE=LNM$PROCESS qualifier.
11 /USER_MODE
Deletes entries in the process logical name table that were
created in user mode. If you specify the /USER_MODE qualifier,
the DEASSIGN command can deassign only user-mode entries. Also,
user-mode logical names are automatically deleted when invoking
and exiting a command procedure.
