Command Reference                               variable_description



NAME
          view_script_submenu_items


SYNTAX
          string view_script_submenu_items = "{}"


GROUP
          view_variables


DESCRIPTION
          Allows users to add to the Setup pulldown menu items
          for invoking user scripts. The variable should contain
          a list of strings, grouped into pairs. The first member
          of the pair is the text that will appear in the
          submenu, and the second member is the string that gets
          sent to the dc_shell command line for execution.  Any
          legal dc_shell command sequence can be used.

          For example,

          view_script_submenu_items  =  "{"List",
          "list_instances", "ls", "sh ls -lR", "Update",
                                          "include update.dcsh"}"

          would create a submenu under the Scripts menu item on
          the Setup pulldown menu.  The submenu would contain the
          strings List, ls, and Update.  Selecting one of these
          entries would execute the commands list_instances, sh
          ls -lR, or include update.dcsh, respectively.

          This variable is read only at startup time, so any
          changes after the Design Analyzer is initialized will
          not be reflected.

          To determine the current value of this variable, type
          list view_script_submenu_items.  For a list of all view
          variables and their current values, type list
          -variables view.
