2  Example

 LANCP> SPAWN

 $ MC LANCP
 LANCP> DEFINE NODE BOOM/ROOT=LAVC$SYSDEVICE:<SYS22.>
 LANCP> SPAWN SEARCH LAVC$SYSDEVICE:[*.SYSEXE]MOD*.DAT BOOM

 ******************************
 LAVC$SYSDEVICE:[SYS1A.SYSEXE]MODPARAMS.DAT;1

 SCSNODE="BOOM    "

 LANCP> DEFINE NODE BOOM/ROOT=LAVC$SYSDEVICE:<SYS1A.>

     In this example, you enter the node information for a node, but
     are unsure of the root, so you spawn to search MODPARAMS.DAT
     for the node name and then correct the root.
