Module

     DMSSYN (SYNONYM)

Function

       PROGRAM  TO SET  UP USER  DEFINED  COMMAND NAMES  AND
       ABBREVIATIONS FOR CMS COMMANDS.

Attributes

       TRANSIENT (WITH SYSTEM OPTION); SERIALLY REUSABLE.

Operation

       SYNONYM CHECKS IF THERE ARE ANY PARAMETERS OR OPTIONS,
       IF NONE AND THE NOABBREV FLAG IN THE NUCLEUS IS NOT ON SYSTEM
       ABBREVIATIONS ARE TYPED; IF ANY USER SYNONYMS, THOSE ARE
       TYPED ALSO.  IF A FILE NAME IS GIVEN IT IS SAVED AND FLAGS
       ARE SET FOR ANY OPTIONS.  IF GIVEN, THE FILEID SPECIFIED IS
       CHECKED (VIA STATE) FOR A FIXED 80 CHARACTER
       FORMAT. THE STORAGE FOR AN OLD USERS SYNONYM TABLE IS RELEASED
       IF ANY, AND STORAGE IS OBTAINED (VIA DMSFRE) FOR THE USER
       COMMAND NAMES.  EACH USER SYNONYM IS READ (DMSBRD) AND THE
       RECORD IS FORMATTED (VIA A COPY OF SCAN) FOR EASE IN HAND-
       LING.  THEN EACH COMMAND NAME, SYNONYM AND COUNT IS MOVED TO
       THE FREE STORAGE BLOCK.  AT END-OF-FILE THE FILE IS CLOSED
       (FINIS) AND A POINTER TO THE FREE STORAGE BLOCK IS SET
       IN DMSINA.  NEXT THE OPTIONS ARE HANDLED AS FOLLOWS:
       CLEAR - RELEASE (DMSFRE) THE OLD USER SYNOMYM TABLE, IF ANY
               NOTE:  THIS HAS NO EFFECT IF A FILEID IS
               SPECIFIED SINCE THE OLD TABLE IS ALWAYS
               ERASED BEFORE THE NEW ONE IS BUILT
       STD -   CLEAR NOABBREV FLAG IN NUCON
       NOSTD - SET NOABBREV FLAB IN NUCON

       FINALLY RETURN TO CALLER WITH RETURN CODE IN REGISTER 15.
