PARAM Command

When the current output file is a spooler destination, the VHSCI banner is
displayed at the beginning of each page; these banner lines are not included in the
number of lines you specify as PRINTER option.
Examples
PARAM Command
The PARAM command enables you to change, add, and display PARAM values that
are passed to a process initiated by the VHSCI RUN command.
param-name
specifies a user-defined name to be assigned a value. The name contains from
1 to 31 alphanumeric characters, including hyphen (-) and circumflex (^).
param-value
specifies the value assigned to param-name.
Considerations
•
Leading and trailing blanks are deleted in the param-value.
•
VHSCI 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 VHSCI 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 VHSCI are
passed to the new process.
•
The PARAM values set in VHSCI are lost when you exit from VHSCI.
