The attributes of an I/O path allow you to change certain aspects of how data is transferred. The attributes can be specified when the initial ASSIGN is made, or the attributes of a previously ASSIGNed I/O path may be individually changed by omitting the "TO target" portion of the statement:
ASSIGN @Jennifer;FORMAT OFF
Additional attributes of a particular device, such as the baud rate of a serial device, are changed using STATUS, CONTROL, READIO, and WRITEIO statements.
