Retrieving Nonstandard Configuration Parameters:
_GET^PARAM
paramtype input
INT
indicates how restrictive the search criteria is:
subsys input
STRING .EXT  ! ZDSN^DDL^SUBSYS^DEF !
is the name of the subsystem whose associated parameter values are to be retrieved. 
A blank subsystem name (all spaces) is valid; the default is “DSNM  ”.
class input
STRING .EXT  ! ZDSN^DDL^CLASS^DEF !
is the name of the class whose associated parameter values are to be retrieved. A 
blank class name (all spaces) is valid; if omitted, the caller’s class name is used.
component input
STRING .EXT  ! ZDSN^DDL^COMPONENT^DEF !
is the name of the component whose associated parameter values are to be retrieved. 
A blank component name (all spaces) is valid; if omitted, the caller’s component 
name (specified by the COMPONENT parameter in the _STARTUP^MODE 
procedure or obtained from the process startup message) is used.
paramname input
STRING .EXT  ! ZDSN^DDL^PARAMNAME^DEF !
is the name of the parameter, left-justified, blank-filled, whose value you want 
returned. 
paramvalue output
STRING .EXT
contains the parameter value if error = 0; otherwise undefined.
_COMPONENT^PARAM Component parameters are instances of a parameter 
specific to this component and class.
_CLASS^PARAM Class parameters are instances of a parameter specific 
to this class. If component is blank, it is specific to 
the class as a whole.
_GENERAL^PARAM General parameters are 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).
