LOG {/n} <destination>

A-Shell maps AMOS format file specifications onto host pathnames using the definitions given with the MIAME DEVICE commands in the environment configuration file. On entering A-Shell, your current working directory is translated into your current AMOS login account. If there is no mapping defined, then you enter A-Shell in a logged off state. You may use the LOG command to log in and subsequently change your login account to one with a valid mapping to an existing host machine directory.

The implementation of LOG will check for the validity of the PPN, execute any start.cmd command file (unless /N specified), and accept and display ERSATZ names. It does not accept or ask for user names. The user name as returned by the GETJTB.SBR subroutine is your user name in the host operating system environment.

The /n switch disables the normal execution of a start.cmd file in the target directory. Destination may consist of all or part of a device and PPN, or an ERSATZ device.
