Managing MetaStor Objects
Manipulating Objects
The list of objects on the Object Manager screen can be manipulated using various line commands. Line commands are actions that must be executed such as copy, delete, select, and so on. They are used in many of the textual interface tools to enable a single command or a block of commands to be executed at the same time.
To manipulate objects using line commands, complete the following steps:
1.
Line commands are typed in the line command field denoted by an underscore at the left side of the display.
2.
Line commands are processed in order from the top to the bottom of the screen.
Line Commands
The Object Manager screen has a different set of valid line commands for each tool. For information on non-standard line commands, refer to the appropriate manual for the tool you are using. The following table lists the standard line commands:
Line Command
Prints a hard copy or prints to a file, according to settings in the user profile or according to parameter settings.
Inserts a new line. This creates a new empty line below the selected line and places the cursor in column one of the new line. This is the only line command that you can issue from the top line command field.
Copies a line after the line where the cursor is located. You can use this command in conjunction with the A and B line commands.
Moves a line to a new position. You use this command in conjunction with the A and B line commands.
A and B
Specifies a destination for a move or a copy. A (after) indicates to copy or move the line after the one where the A is placed, and B (before) indicates before where the B is placed.
Example
The following is an example of the line command P (print) used to print a table from the Object Manager screen. In this example, the P line command prints the contents of the table, while using PF13 would print the list of tables.
