The system does not allow two permanent disk files with the same title to exist on the same disk family. In order to handle attempts to duplicate disk file titles, most system administrators set the system option AUTORM. If a process attempts to enter a file in the disk directory for a family, but a file with the same name already exists in that family's disk directory, then the AUTORM option causes the existing file to be removed. For further information, refer to the discussion of preventing process suspension in Monitoring and Controlling Process Status.
