Como records are stored in a file named $COMO. This is created automatically when the COMO ON command is first used. The default pathname of $COMO under the account directory can be changed by creating the file in an alternative place. The file used for storing como data must be a directory file.

 

The COMO command is mainly intended as a diagnostic aid during application development. It can be used, for example, to look back at an error message that was overwritten on the screen before the user had time to read it.
