PARAM Command
PARAM Command
The PARAM command is used to change, add, and display PARAM values passed to a
process initiated by the SCF RUN command.
param-name
is a user-defined name to be assigned a value. The name can contain 1 through
31 alphanumeric characters, including hyphen (-) and circumflex (^).
param-value
is the value assigned to param-name.
Considerations
•
Leading and trailing blanks are deleted in param-value.
•
SCF 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 are
displayed.
•
If param-value is omitted, the current PARAM value associated with param-
name is displayed.
•
The SCF PARAM command supersedes any PARAM specification for the same
param-name read at SCF startup.
•
Use the CLEAR command to delete existing PARAM values (see CLEAR
Command on page 5-40).
•
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 SCF are
passed to the new process.
•
The PARAM values set in SCF are lost when you exit from SCF.
•
If the Break key is pressed during an SCF session and a new PARAM value is set
outside of SCF, SCF does not receive this PARAM value. Therefore, SCF does not
pass on this new PARAM value when it creates a process.
•
The SCF parameters SCF^PM^LOC and SCF^LIB^MOVED must be set before
SCF is run. If these parameters are set from within SCF, their settings are ignored.
•
Another command can follow the PARAM command on the same line only if
param-name is not specified.
