File equations UNIX (sort of)?

[Joe Boyle]

I think setenv is a c shell command; which means you probably need syntax
like that below, which is bourne/korn shell syntax,

PAY=/archive/pay 
export PAY

or

PAY=/archive/pay;export PAY

Regards, Joe.

Subject: File equations UNIX (sort of)?

 
Dear All, 

migrating from MPE to UX we have hit another question:

Is there another possibility of replacing MPE file equations (file
tempfile=permfile) than using system variables? The "Migration Guide",
otherwise very helpful, states:

...For example,

FILE PAY=PAY.ARCHIVE

would be replaced with

setenv PAY /archive/pay.

Unfortunately our Unix/scripting language/whatever doesn't understand
this command(?).

Any ideas (or even syntax examples??)

Thanks in advance
