Global Parameters and Search Patterns
Local General Parameters
A local general parameter is any instance of this parameter. It may be for this 
component, for the class as a whole (if component is blank), or for any class (if both 
class and component are blank). The first value set found by the following generic key 
search is returned:
Global Parameters and Search Patterns
Global parameters consist of multiple value sets: the union of sets of values from all 
sources in which instances of the parameter are found. The value set for a global 
parameter typically contains multiple values (for example, command server SYSTEM 
parameters).
Global Component Parameters
A global component parameter is all instances of this parameter specific to this 
component and class. All value sets found by the following generic key searches are 
returned:
Global Class Parameters
A global class parameter is all instances of this parameter specific to this class. If 
component is blank, it is specific to the class as a whole. All value sets found by the 
following generic key searches are returned:
mysystem DSNM class component  parameter
mysystem DSNM class  blank parameter
mysystem DSNM blank  blank parameter
 blank DSNM class component parameter
 blank DSNM class  blank parameter
 blank DSNM blank   blank parameter
mysystem DSNM class component  parameter
DSNM class component parameter
mysystem DSNM class   blank parameter
mysystem DSNM class component  parameter
 blank DSNM class component parameter
 blank DSNM class   blank parameter
