Users can optionally address files they require by using alternative file names or aliases. Internal assignments between aliases and actual file names are maintained in an alias catalog. Each user may also define a specific file name prefix for his or her file names. The following commands are available for controlling the ACS functions (no program interface is provided):

ADD-ACS-SYSTEM-FILE | Defines an ACS system file. |
ADD-ALIAS-CATALOG-ENTRY | Adds an entry to the alias catalog of the current task and defines where the substitution applies. |
HOLD-ALIAS-SUBSTITUTION | Interrupts the ACS function for the current task. No alias substitution occurs following this command. |
LOAD-ALIAS-CATALOG | Transfers entries saved in an AC file to the alias catalog. |
MODIFY-ACS-OPTIONS | Modifies task-local options. |
