219.0. "DECW$BOOK logical " by NRMACK::SANY (Dara Sany @BIO, DTN: 841 3286) Wed Nov 01 1989 11:51

    1. When DECW$BOOK logical is initially translated in Bookreader, is the
       standard logical translation order observed, i.e.:-
       Translate from process table
       If not found,
         Translate from Job table
         If not found,
           Translate from Group table
           If not found,
             Translate from System table
             If not found,
               Translate from DECW$LOGICAL_NAMES table
    2. Is this logical translated successively to recover all its
       equivalences, or is it translated only once.
    3. Is this logical placed in front of 'filespec' in:-
       shelf\filespec\title
       book\filespec\title
       Or is the filespec used in its entirety ?

    I am having problems implementing a setup whereby initial shelf is
    made up of:-
      Public Library
      Group (UIC) Library
      Personal Library
    something like that explained in Note 193.*, obviously with not much
    success !

    Any explanation given is greatly appreciated.

	1. Yes, the standard logical translation order observed. 2. DECW$BOOK is translated only once--not successively. 3. The translation is used as the default filespec. Any fields specified in the shelf entry will override the defaults. Note that if you use a searchlist, the V2 Bookreader will append all the library.decw$bookshelf; files it finds in that searchlist to create the initial library shelf. When you open an entry on a shelf, the V2 Bookreader will look for the file first on that shelf, then if the file is not there, the Bookreader will look in DECW$BOOK. You might try something like this: $ DEFINE/SYSTEM DECW$BOOK_PUBLIC <public library> $ DEFINE/GROUP DECW$BOOK_GROUP <group library> $ DEFINE/PROCESS DECW$BOOK_PERSONAL <personal library> $ DEFINE/SYSTEM DECW$BOOK - DECW$BOOK_PERSONAL, DECW$BOOK_GROUP, DECW$BOOK_PUBLIC joe

    $ DEFINE/GROUP	DECW$BOOK_GROUP		<group library>
    $ DEFINE/PROCESS	DECW$BOOK_PERSONAL	<personal library>

    $ DEFINE/SYSTEM	DECW$BOOK		-
		DECW$BOOK_PERSONAL, DECW$BOOK_GROUP, DECW$BOOK_PUBLIC
