Suprtool Commands
password overrides the subsystem flag and allows full access to the database. If you wish to take advantage of subsystem access, we recommend that Set Subsystem On be added to your Suprmgr file.
The following example restricts the STORE database to read access:
:run dbutil.pub.sys {must be DB creator}
>set store subsystems=read {read access only}
>exit
:run suprtool.pub.robelle
>set subsystem on {check subsystem access}
>base store
Password [;]? {don't use creator}
>input infile {standard file input}
>put m-customer {Put will fail because we}
{do not have write access}
Error: You are not allowed access to this database
Suspend
SET SUSPEND ON | OFF
(Initially: varies)
SUSPEND instructs Suprtool to suspend after an Exit command.
The default is OFF when Suprtool is :RUN from MPE, when :RUN with Parm=32, or when invoked from the POSIX shell. Suspend is ON when Suprtool is :RUN from within another program (e.g., Qedit). In some cases it is desirable to turn this option
OFF to prevent several invocations of Suprtool from being present at the same time.
Users who run Suprtool from within MENU systems or QUICK may want to turn
Suspend Off, or :Run Suprtool with Parm=32.
ThousandSymbol
SET ThousandSymbol " "
(Default: comma)
This setting is used to change the Thousand character which is used to edit the data in a field used by the $Number function.
>set ThousandSymbol ","
The default character for the Thousand Symbol is a comma.
Userlabels
SET USERLABELS ON | OFF
(Initially: ON)
By default, Suprtool always copies user labels from the input file to the output file.
User Labels are ignored when no Extract command has been issued and Set
Userlabels is Off. However, if an Extract command is issued and Set Userlabels is
Off, Suprtool still writes the Userlabels. If List Labels is requested, Suprtool prints the contents of the user labels before listing the data. If Userlabels is Off, Suprtool does no processing of user labels. To convert a self-describing file into a non-SD file, see "Suprtool and Self-Describing Files" on page 69.
