Fundamentals of OpenVMS COURSE DESCRIPTION This course teaches the basic working environment of an OpenVMS system. It introduces commonly required operations that can be performed by entering commands interactively at a terminal. COURSE OBJECTIVES Each participant will be able to use DCL (Digital Command Language) commands to maintain collections of files, create files using interactive editor utilities, create and execute basic command procedures, communicate with other users, and tailor the interactive environment to meet their needs. Usage of the Graphical Desktop will also be shown.
