Program ID: DIR_STACKS D R A F T Operating System: VAX/VMS V5.x Source Language : Cobol v3.4-49 Key Words: DIRECTORY, STACK, UTILITY, COBOL Submitted by: Jim McDowall,Board of Education for the City of Windsor 451 Park Street West P.O. Box 210 Windsor, Ontario., Canada N9A 6K1 (519)255.3348 Abstract: DIR_STACKS is used to change a process' device & directory default. The program will maintain a stack of defaults set and allow the user to recall this stack and set default to any of the values stored. A maximum of 50 stack positions can be maintained. The user can control the the number of stack positions. It will not allow default setting to any device or directory which does NOT exist or that the process does not have access to because of privilege or protection settings. A process can set default to any user's SYS$LOGIN directory providing the process has the correct privilege and access to said directory. System managers can create users' SYS$LOGIN directorys if one does not exists without having to know the dev:[dir] specification. Knowing the username is all that is needed.
