Equate Command Strings

The EQUATES parameter group lets you substitute a long command string with a single one- to eight-character string. The string is then easier and faster to use. This is particularly useful when you are using Remote Operator Facility (ROF). You can also use the EQUATES parameter group to replace an existing command with a Network Control Language (NCL) procedure.

You can set up equates in the EQUATES parameter group when you first customize your region. These equates are then immediately available to any operator using OCS mode. These equates are known as global EQUATES.

Individual users can override a global equate by using the EQUATE command in OCS. Equate values set by an individual user are effective only for that user, and only for the single OCS session.

Note: For more information about the EQUATE command, see the online help.
