Specify the Data Location

   

DT R
lets you change the third letter of the raw data files. Most raw data files begin with RDT, but there are a few exceptions; for example, the neutral beam files are RD1, RD2, etc.

DT U
lets you set the disk and directory for Ufiles. If the file is in your top level directory, you can specify it using either the logical SYS$LOGIN, which provides both the disk and directory; or MYNAME$:[000000], where ``myname'' is your user name:  

 
	Command[ ]? DT U

Ufile device[ ]? SYS$LOGIN

Ufile area[ ]? , !' ' if not blank

Command[ ]? DT U

Ufile device[ ]? THOMPSON$

Ufile area[ ]? 000000

If the file is in one of your subdirectories use:

 
	Command[ ]? DT U

Ufile device[ ]? THOMPSON$

Ufile area[ ]? XP227

The read routines always try to restore a Ufile from the optical jukebox if it is not on disk, so if you have specified a ``non-standard'' location and the file does not exist you will get an error message such as:

 
	<OP_RESULTS_MAKEDIRNAME> Invalid directory name [THOMPSON.XP123]

<OP_RESULTS_PLATTER> error making directory name [THOMPSON.XP123]

DT A
sets the default file type to ASCII.    

 
	Command[ ]? DT A

Command[ ]? DE MYDATA.DAT ; !ASCII file
