# Extended Commands

NOM Console Command | Invoke NOMADS Session Manager

## Format

NOM [ panel_name$,library_file$ ]

Where:

panel_name$ | Name of the NOMADS panel object to open.
library_file$ | Name of the library file. If the location of the library file is different from the current directory, enter the full pathname of the library file.

The panel_name$ and library_file$ must be separated by either a comma or a semi-colon.

## Description

The NOM command invokes the NOMADS Session Manager for accessing the NOMADS graphical application development toolset.

The NOM [ panel_name$,library_file$ ] command opens a NOMADS panel object in the NOMADS Panel Designer if panel_name$ exists. If panel_name$ does not exist, it will be treated as a new panel definition.

If the panel was created with the File Maintenance Generator, a message will ask you to choose between opening the panel in the File Maintenance Generator or in the NOMADS Panel Designer.

(The ability to open a file maintenance panel in the File Maintenance Generator was added in PxPlus 2025.)

## Example:

NOM clients;scrnlib.en

NOM depts,c:\work\data\scrnlib.en
