A process can become suspended if it attempts to enter a file into the disk directory and a file of the same title already exists. The system displays a “DUPLICATE FILE” RSVP message for the process. The process does not proceed any further until an operator enters an RM (Remove) system command. The RM command causes the system to remove the existing file. You can save the operator from having to enter an RM command by setting the AUTORM option. AUTORM can be set for a process through assignments to the OPTION task attribute, or for the whole system through the OP (Options) system command. The AUTORM option causes the system to automatically remove any old duplicate files that a process encounters. For further information about disk directories and the AUTORM option, refer to Entering a File in the Directory in Using Shared Files.
