7-37
PARAM Command
integer
specifies the size of the printer or terminal page. If integer is in the range 2
through 255, VHSCI displays integer-1 lines before providing a page break. If
integer is omitted or has the value -1, VHSCI cannot provide a page break. The
default page size is 60 lines for a printer and 23 lines for a terminal.
TERMINAL
specifies that the terminal page size is being designated.
PRINTER
specifies that the printer page size is being designated.
Considerations
•
If both TERMINAL and PRINTER are omitted, TERMINAL is assumed.
•
When the current output file is a spooler destination, the VHSCI banner is
displayed at the beginning of each page; these banner lines are not included in the
number of lines you specify as PRINTER option.
Examples
PARAM Command
The PARAM command enables you to change, add, and display PARAM values that
are passed to a process initiated by the VHSCI RUN command.
param-name
specifies a user-defined name to be assigned a value. The name contains from
1 to 31 alphanumeric characters, including hyphen (-) and circumflex (^).
param-value
specifies the value assigned to param-name.
Considerations
•
Leading and trailing blanks are deleted in the param-value.
•
VHSCI reserves 1024 bytes of internal storage for parameters and their values.
This limits the number and length of parameters.
