ASSIGN

ASSIGN is a DCL command that creates a logical name and assigns an equivalence string, or a list of strings, to the specified logical name. If you specify an existing logical name, the new equivalence name replaces the existing equivalence name. For descriptions of ASSIGN/MERGE and ASSIGN/QUEUE, see the respective pages.

DEFINE vs ASSIGN

The only difference between the DEFINE and ASSIGN commands is the sequence of parameter: the first parameter to the DEFINE command is the logical name and the second one is the equivalence string.

Syntax

ASSIGN  equivalence-name[,...] logical-name[:]
