Operation

Use ASOCTBL to distribute operator commands for specific devices to standard MPE/iX users.

This utility creates a device class/user table in a file called ASOCIATE.PUB.SYS.

Once a user is included in the association table, he or she gains access to the corresponding device class by the use of the ASSOCIATE command. That user then has exclusive access to the operator commands that control that device until the association is terminated by logging off or issuing the DISASSOCIATE command.
