maxlen input
INT
is the maximum number of bytes that can be returned in paramvalue.
len output
INT
is the number of bytes returned in paramvalue.
Retrieving Nonstandard Configuration Parameters: _GET^PARAM
You can call _GET^PARAM in your _STARTUP procedure to retrieve configuration
parameter values that are not part of the standard set stored in the
_DSNMCONF^PARAM structure.
error output
is a ZDSN or NonStop Kernel error. (FEEOF means there are no more parameters
with this name.)
paramscope input
INT
indicates whether the parameter is local or global:
error := _GET^PARAM ( paramscope
, paramtype
,[ subsys ]
,[ class ]
,[ component ]
, paramname
, paramvalue:maxlen
,[ len ]
,[ error-filename ] );
_LOCAL^PARAM Local parameters consist of a single value (for example,
SWAPVOL) obtained from one source—a DSNMCONF
file or the startup message.
_GLOBAL^PARAM Global parameters consist of multiple values (for example,
command server SYSTEM parameters) from all sources in
which instances of the parameter are found.
