Began Programming in MUMPS: 01 Apr 2010
Now that GT.M is installed on your OpenVMS system, you will need to create the Global Directory. This is accomplished by executing the GT.M Global Directory Editor (GDE).

First, run the GTMLOGIN.COM DCL script that was installed in the previous step, as follows:

Code:
$ @GTM$DIST:GTMLOGIN


This will make the necessary preparations for your environment so that you can run the GT.M utilities.

Next, you will need to set your default directory to the home directory of the account from which you will be using GT.M. This is where GDE will create the MUMPS.GLD file, which is the global directory. In my case, this is DKA100:[JOLLIS]. Change the file specification to match your system:

Code:
$ SET DEFAULT DKA100:[JOLLIS]


Now, run the GDE utility, and immediately EXIT from it, as follows; the output from GDE is shown below:

Code:
$ RUN GTM$DIST:GDE
%GDE-I-GDUSEDEFS, Using defaults for Global Directory
...DKA100:[JOLLIS]MUMPS.GLD
GDE>EXIT
%GDE-I-VERIFY, Verification OK
%GDE-I-GDCREATE, Creating Global Directory file


Once this procedure is complete, you will need to run the GT.M MUPIP command to create the database file MUMPS.DAT, as follows:

Code:
$ RUN GTM$DIST:MUPIP
MUPIP> CREATE
Database file for region $DEFAULT created.


That's it! You should now be able to run MUMPS /DIRECT to access the interactive GT.M environment.
