Logical Names

Name Attributes

CONFINE

• The logical name is not copied into a subprocess.
• Relevant only to “private’ logical name tables.
• If applied to a logical name table, all logical names in that table inherit this attribute.
NO_ALIAS
• The logical name cannot be duplicated in the same table in a less privileged (“outer”) access mode.

Note:

/NAME_ATTRIBUTES is a non-positional qualifier.

The attributes of a logical name determine how the name is treated with respect to subprocesses and less privileged access modes.

If a name is specified with “CONFINE”, it is not copied to the logical name tables associated with processes spawned by other processes.

If a name is specified with “NO_ALIAS”, another translation cannot be specified in a less privileged (“outer”) access mode.

Non-positional qualifiers were discussed earlier in this session.
