1  /TRANSLATE
   The /TRANSLATE qualifier forces INSTALL to attempt a logical name
   translation of a file that you specify.

                                  NOTE

      before you use the /TRANSLATE qualifier, you must invoke
      INSTALL as a foreign command:

        $ INSTALL = "$INSTALL"

   Format

     /TRANSLATE
 

2  Description
   Within OpenVMS, when you specify a file name without a device,
   directory, or file type, OpenVMS usually attempts a logical
   name translation of the file name before it applies device,
   directory, or file type defaults. However, if you specify a
   device, directory, or file type, OpenVMS does not attempt a
   logical name translation.

   Using the /TRANSLATE qualifier forces INSTALL to attempt a
   logical name translation even if a device, directory, or file
   type are specified.
 

2  Examples

   1.DEFINE FILE1 FILE1_EV6
     $ INSTALL = "$INSTALL"
     $ INSTALL
     INSTALL> ADD SYS$SHARE:FILE1.EXE ! SYS$SHARE:FILE1 is added as a
     known image

     The first command in this example defines FILE1 as a logical
     name with an equivalence name of FILE1_EV6. However, because
     a device (SYS$SHARE:) file type (.EXE) are supplied, INSTALL
     treats FILE1 as part of a file specification rather than as
     part of a file specification.

   2.DEFINE FILE1 FILE1_EV6
     $ INSTALL = "$INSTALL"
     $ INSTALL/TRANSLATE
     INSTALL> ADD SYS$SHARE:FILE1.EXE ! SYS$SHARE:FILE1_EV6 is added as
     a known image

     The first command in this example defines FILE1 as a logical
     name with an equivalence name of FILE1_EV6. Because /TRANSLATE
     is specified, INSTALL treats FILE1 as a logical name even
     though a device (SYS$SHARE:) file type (.EXE) are supplied.
