Startup Values
•
PARAM HISTORY history-pages: This parameter sets how many pages of
command history the SeeView program stores. The default is three pages. This
history pool is shared by all tasks, not assigned to each individual task, and is
taken from the cache pool whose size is set by the preceding parameter.
•
PARAM LASTPAGE last-userpage: This parameter specifies how many
terminal pages you want the SeeView program to use as user pages. These
display pages are in the terminal’s local memory, not cache-type memory pages of
2048 bytes. The SeeView program chooses a default value for the last user page
based on the type of terminal or emulator you are using. If you do not want to use
the default number of pages, you can set a new value with this parameter. Use
caution when increasing this value. There is a trade-off between the number of
windows and fields a terminal can support and the number of terminal pages.
•
PARAM MODEMWAIT seconds: This parameter redefines the time in seconds
that SeeView waits for a modem to reconnect before SeeView abends with a
modem disconnect error (file-system error 140). Specifying seconds equal to 0
indicates that SeeView waits indefinitely. The default is 240 seconds.
•
PARAM PEP max-libprocs: This parameter redefines the maximum number of
procedures that you can declare in the procedure library. The default is 512.
•
PARAM POOLPAGES max-iopool-pages: This parameter redefines the
maximum number of pool pages allocated. You use pool pages to build large input-
output buffers such as the reply buffer for the WRITE..FROM option. The default is
24 pages.
•
PARAM SERVERMODE mode: This parameter runs the SeeView program with
no block-mode input-output file when the value of mode is nonzero. (The default is
zero.) These values define mode functions:
The SERVERMODE parameter operates the SeeView program as a server. You
can use this capability as a command interpreter gateway for workstation
applications. When SERVERMODE is 3 or higher, MSG statement output is
displayed in conversational mode, so scripts can display information using the
MSG statement.
•
PARAM SYMBOLS max-symbols: This parameter redefines the maximum
number of string and integer symbols that you can declare. The default is 256
symbols.
•
PARAM TASKS max-task-limit: This parameter redefines the maximum
number of SeeView tasks and menus that you can declare. The max-task-

1 Do not ever open outfile, run silently.
2 Open outfile only if an error occurs.
3 Open outfile, show all Msg cache messages.
