550.0. "$assign and logicals??" by BAXTA::GRAZIANO_ROB (when (lost) then (scream)) Thu Sep 10 1987 09:09

    howdy,
    
    I've got the following call in some code I was just given to support

    $assign ("txa0:", channel_number, , )
    
    can I do the the following after doing a $DEFINE Printer_logical "txa0:"
    
    $assign ("Printer_logical", channel_number, , )
    
    or do i need to do a $trnlnm first
    I am working in basic....
    anyone done this before ?
    
    advTHANKSance

    Yup. SYS$ASSIGN will attempt a logical name translation of the device
    name before using it.
