It then becomes available for someone else's use. The /ALL qualifier deallocates all devices allocated from your terminal. The /DEVICE qualifier has no effect and is only included for the sake of clarity. The /TERMINAL qualifier deallocates devices allocated from other terminals. This qualifier is privileged and is available on RSX-11M-PLUS only. 1 DEASSIGN @DCLDEASS 1 DEBUG DEBUG [taskname] DEBUG forces a task to trap to a debugger by setting the T-bit in the task's Processor Status Word. The task must have been built using the /DEBUG qualifier to the LINK command or have issued an Executive directive specifying a debugger. Nonprivileged users can issue this command for any nonprivileged task running from their own terminals. Privileged users can name any task, but the command must be issued from the same terminal the task was run from. The default task name is a task named after the terminal, such as TT35. 1 DELETE @DCLDELETE 1 DIFFERENCE @DCLDIFF 1 DIRECTORY @DCLDIR 1 DISMOUNT @DCLDIS 1 EDI @EDI 1 EDIT @DCLEDIT 1 ERRLOG #ERROR 1 ERROR_LOG @ERROR 1 FIX @DCLFIX 1 FORTRAN @DCLFORT 1 HELLO #LOGIN 1 HELP @DCLHELP 1 INDIRECT @ICP 1 HOLD @DCLHOLD 1 INITIALIZE @DCLINITV 1 INSTALL @DCLINST 1 LIBRARIAN #LIBRARY 1 LIBRARY @DCLLIB 1 LINK @DCLLINK 1 LOGIN @DCLLOGIN 1 LOGOUT @DCLLOGOUT 1 MACRO @DCLMACRO 1 MCR @DCLMCR 1 MESSAGE #BROADCAST 1 BROADCAST @DCLBRO 1 MOUNT @DCLMOUNT 1 PRINT @DCLPRINT 1 PURGE @DCLPURGE 1 RELEASE @DCLREL 1 REMOVE @DCLREMOVE 1 RENAME @DCLRENAME 1 REQUEST @DCLREQ 1 RUN @DCLRUN 1 SET @DCLSET 1 BRIEF @DCLSHORTS 1 SHOW @DCLSHOW 1 SORT @DCLSORT 1 START @DCLSTART 1 STOP @DCLSTOP 1 SUBMIT @DCLSUBMIT 1 TYPE @DCLTYPE 1 UNFIX @DCLUNFIX 1 UNLOCK UNLOCK[/qualifier[s]] filespec[s] Qualifiers /DATE:dd-mmm-yy /SINCE:dd-mmm-yy /THROUGH:dd-mmm-yy /SINCE:dd-mmm-yy/THROUGH:dd-mmm-yy /TODAY /EXCLUDE:filespec The UNLOCK command unlocks files that have been locked. A locked file is one that was not closed properly (eg. system crash, or task abort). Locked files may have been corrupted. 2 DATE UNLOCK/DATE:dd-mmm-yy filespec[s] The /DATE qualifier specifies that you wish the UNLOCK command to affect only files created on the given date. 2 SINCE UNLOCK/SINCE:dd-mmm-yy filespec[s] The /SINCE qualifier specifies that you wish the UNLOCK command to affect only files created on or after the given date. You can combine /THROUGH and /SINCE to create a range of dates. 2 THROUGH UNLOCK/THROUGH:dd-mmm-yy filespec[s] The /THROUGH qualifier specifies that you wish the UNLOCK command to affect only files created on or before the given date. You can combine /THROUGH and /SINCE to create a range of dates. 2 TODAY UNLOCK/TODAY filespec[s] The /TODAY qualifier specifies that you wish the UNLOCK command to affect only files created today. 2 EXCLUDE UNLOCK/EXCLUDE:filespec The /EXCLUDE qualifer specifies that you wish the UNLOCK command to exclude the named file (or files if named with wildcards) in its action. 1 MORE Help is available for the following utilities, system tasks, and features: ACCOUNTING ASCII BAD BATCH_PROCESSING BCK BRU CDA CONFIGURATION CMP CNV COT DEF DMP DSC DSP EDI EDT ERROR_LOG EXECUTIVE FCS FLX FMT IFL INDIRECT IOX LBR MAG ODT PAT PIP PMD RMS RST SHADOW_RECORDING SLP SYSGEN SYSLIB TKB TKTN VFY VMR ZAP 1 ACCOUNTING @ACC 1 ASCII @ASCII 1 FCS @FCS 1 MAG @MAG 1 BATCH_PROCESSING @BATCH 1 BRU @BRU 1 CDA @CDA 1 BAD @BAD 1 CMP @CMP 1 CONFIGURATION For help on CON, the Reconfiguration task, type MCR CON HELP or MCR CON /HE 1 COT @COT 1 DSC @DSC 1 DUMP #DMP 1 DMP @DMP 1 EDT @DCLEDT 1 EXECUTIVE @EXECUTIVE 1 FILEX #FLX 1 FLEX #FLX 1 FLX @FLX 1 FMT @FMT 1 IOX @IOX 1 LBR @LBR 1 ODT @ODT 1 PATCH #PAT 1 PAT @PAT 1 PIP @PIP 1 PMD @PMD 1 RMS @RMS 1 BCK #RMSBCK 1 RMSBCK @RMSBCK 1 CNV #RMSCNV 1 RMSCNV @RMSCNV 1 DEF #RMSDEF 1 RMSDEF @RMSDEF 1 DSP #RMSDSP 1 RMSDSP @RMSDSP 1 IFL #RMSIFL 1 RMSIFL @RMSIFL 1 RST #RMSRST 1 RMSRST @RMSRST 1 SHADOW_RECORDING @SHADOW 1 SLIPPER #SLP 1 SLIPR #SLP 1 SLP @SLP 1 SYSTEM_GENERATION #SYSGEN 1 SYSGEN @SYSGEN 1 SYSLIB @SYSLIB 1 TKB @TKB 1 TASK_TERMINATION_NOTIFICATION #TKTN 1 TKTN @TKTN 1 VIRTUAL_MONITOR_CONSOLE_ROUTINE #VMR 1 VIRTUAL_MCR #VMR 1 VMR @VMR 1 VERIFY #VFY 1 VFY @VFY 1 ZAP @ZAP
