What is BOX VOLUME Pair

BOX:VOLUME pair:

This is a term that was used when Digital Standard Mumps (DSM) was the major mumps system used and is a way to determine the namespace and instance name that is in use for this installation.

To determine it:

D GETENV^%ZOSV W Y

Reading the results:

You should see a line that looks like the following:
VISTA^VISTA^WIN^VISTA:CACHE

This line contains several pieces of information and is interpreted as follows
Each piece of information is separated by a ^, so there are four (4) pieces of information in the above line

    Piece 1:  VISTA = UCI/Namespace
    Piece 2:  VISTA = VOL(UME)
    Piece 3:  WIN = NODE (HOSTNAME)
    Piece 4:  VISTA:CACHE = BOX:VOLUME


NOTE:  Notice that the volume is in the wrong place when comparing their places in the BOX:VOLUME pair.  The output from the above command is correct.  This is due to historical purposes.
