Using GDE

Guidelines for Mapping

The default installation procedure places the GDE utility into a directory assigned to the logical name GTM$DIST. The installation also creates command files that define GTM$DIST and assigns the symbol GDE to be the foreign command, $GTM$DIST:GDE.

To invoke GDE:

  1. At the DCL prompt, enter GDE.

  2. GDE displays the following informational messages, and then the GDE> prompt:

       
            %GDE-I-LOADGD, loading Global Directory file /prod/mumps.gld
            %GDE-I-VERIFY, Verification OK
           GDE>
        

If this does not work, contact your system manager to investigate setup and file access issues.

To leave GDE:

  1. Use the GDE EXIT command to save all changes and return to DCL.

        GDE> EXIT
        
  2. Use the GDE QUIT command to discard all changes and return to DCL. This will not save any changes.

        GDE> QUIT
