Synopsis
Module
DMSUPD (UPDATE COMMAND)
Function
CMS 'UPDATE' COMMAND -- UPDATE SOURCE FILES ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS IN UPDATE FILES. MULTIPLE UPDATES MAY BE MADE, ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS IN CONTROL FILES WHICH DESIGNATE THE UPDATE FILES.
Attributes
DISK RESIDENT, NON-RE-ENTRANT, NON-REUSABLE
Operation
IF A SINGLE UPDATE IS TO BE PERFORMED, THEN THE INPUT SOURCE FILE AND THE UPDATE FILE ARE OPENED. AS THE CONTROL CARDS ARE READ FROM THE UPDATE FILE, INSERTIONS AND DELETIONS ARE MADE TO THE SOURCE FILE, WITH THE UPDATED VERSION WRITTEN ONTO DISK AS $FNAME. IF MULTIPLE UPDATES ARE TO BE PERFORMED, THEN THE CONTROL FILE IS OPENED, AND USED AS A GUIDE TO THE VARIOUS UPDATE FILES. UPDATE FILE CONTROL CARDS MAY REFER TO UPDATE FILES, OR TO 'AUX' FILES CONTAINING DESIGNATIONS OF UPDATE FILEIDS. (THE EXACT FORMATS OF THESE FILES IS DESCRIBED IN DETAIL IN THE COMMAND LANGUAGE USER'S GUIDE.) IF NO UPDATE FILES ARE FOUND AT ALL, A RETURN CODE OF 40 IS GENERATED (THIS CODE IS GENERATED IN ONLY THIS WAY). WHEN MULTIPLE UPDATES ARE BEING PERFORMED, THE INPUT SOURCE FILE IS READ INTO STORAGE AND THE UPDATES ARE THEN PERFORMED IN STORAGE. ALL UPDATES ARE DONE IN STORAGE BEFORE THE OUTPUT FILE IS CREATED ON DISK. AS A FINAL STEP, IF THE 'REP' OPTION WAS SPECIFIED, THEN THE $FNAME FILE IS RENAMED TO FNAME.
