SEGMENT ASSIGN

Read syntax diagramSkip visual syntax diagram SEGMENT ASSIGN lsegname psegname

Purpose

Use the SEGMENT ASSIGN command to change the physical saved segment from which a logical saved segment will be used.

Operands

lsegname
is the 1-8 character name of the logical saved segment.
psegname
is the 1-8 character name of the physical saved segment.

Examples

You have two logical saved segments with the same name, EXECS, residing in two physical saved segments, PSEG1 and PSEG2. If you want to use the EXECS saved segment in PSEG2, you would issue the command, 
segment assign execs pseg2

Then, whenever you issue another one of the SEGMENT commands or macro, such as SEGMENT LOAD, the EXECS saved segment in PSEG2 is used.
