Command Search Path

When only the command name (i.e. no device, PPN, or extension) is specified, the search path for the command is given in the table below:

LIT file in DSK0:[1,4]

LIT file in the current PPN

LIT file in the ,0 PPN of the current project

CMD file in DSK0:[1,4]

CMD file in DSK0:[2,2]

CMD file in the current PPN

CMD file in the ,0 PPN of the current project

DO file in the current PPN

DO file in the ,0 PPN of the current project

DO file in the CMD file account

 

If the command extension is included with the command name, then the search path is modified from the above to first look for the command in the current PPN (rather than in the SYS: or CMD: directories).

DSK0:[1,4] is the default SYS: directory, and DSK0:[2,2] is the default CMD: directory. If the location of SYS: or CMD: has been changed via the ERASTZ definition file, the search path described above is it not affected. If you are certain you want to change the functional SYS: and CMD: definitions, use the Mount System Device command line switch.
