PARAM
PARAM
The PARAM command is used to change, add, and display PARAM values that are
passed to a process initiated by the EMS Analyzer RUN command.
param-name
is a user defined name to be assigned a value. The name contains from 1 to 31
alphanumeric characters, including hyphen (-) and circumflex (^).
param-value
is the value assigned to param-name.
Considerations
•
Leading and trailing blanks are deleted in the param-value.
•
EMS Analyzer reserves 1024 bytes of internal storage for parameters and their
values. This limits the number and length of parameters.
•
If both param-name and param-value are omitted, all current PARAM values
display.
•
If param-value is omitted, the current PARAM value associated with param-
name displays.
•
The PARAM command supersedes any PARAM specification for the same param-
name that was read at EMS Analyzer startup time.
•
Use the CLEAR command to delete existing PARAM values. Refer to the CLEAR
command description.
•
A new process must request its PARAM message following receipt of the startup
message. The PARAM values read from TACL and the ones set in EMS Analyzer
are passed to the new process.
•
The PARAM values set in EMS Analyzer are lost when you exit from EMS
Analyzer.
•
If the Break key is pressed during an EMS Analyzer session and a new PARAM
value is set outside of EMS Analyzer, EMS Analyzer does not receive this PARAM
value. EMS Analyzer can not pass on the new PARAM value when it creates a
process.
•
Another command cannot follow the PARAM command on the same line.
