Table 3-6. Commands Available Only in the INIT NCL Procedure
SYSPARMS Operand Purpose
ID Specifies the system identifier by which a NonStop NET/MASTER MS
system is known; analogous to the APPLNAME parameter in the SOLVE
management services.
LANG Specifies the spelling to be used in error messages and by the system.
NCLTRMAX Specifies the maximum number of trace messages that an NCL procedure
can generate.
NETNAME Specifies the name of the network.
PWEXPIRE Specifies, in days, the life of a password; applies only to users whose user
ID definition record has the Password Expire option enabled.
PWHISTORY Specifies the number of passwords recorded for a user; NonStop
NET/MASTER MS rejects attempts to reuse passwords recorded in the
user’s password history.
PWMIN Specifies, in characters, the minimum password length.
PWRETRY Specifies the number of password violations that are allowed before a logon
failure is recorded in the activity log.
NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands, such as the following, cannot be issued in the
INIT procedure:
EMSCOLL
EMSDIST
LINK START
PROGRUN
SIGNON link-name
These commands and some others are unavailable to the INIT procedure because the
INIT procedure executes before the startup phase has completed. The command
reference tables in the NonStop NET/MASTER MS Command Reference Manual indicate
which commands you cannot use in the INIT procedure.
Note An NCL procedure used to replace a command, by means of the SYSPARMS CMDREPL command,
becomes available only after the SYSPARMS CMDREPL command has executed. Therefore, if you want
the INIT NCL procedure to invoke the NCL procedure instead of the command that the NCL procedure
replaces, ensure that the INIT procedure invokes the command (which is replaced by CMDREPL) after
the SYSPARMS CMDREPL line occurs in the INIT code.
Use of the EQUATE and FK commands in the INIT procedure creates command string
abbreviations and function key definitions, respectively, that any user can invoke.
Such abbreviations and function key definitions are termed “global” because they are
available to all users. Users can override the global abbreviations and function key
definitions by using the EQUATE and FK commands, respectively. User-defined, local
abbreviations (also called equates) and local function keys override their global
counterparts. Command abbreviations created in an NCL procedure at an OCS
