PAR Modify Operational Parameters

PAR [SYSLINE= Y | N] [, STATION= O | V] [, NAMES= START | END] [, SHOW= PHYS | SYM] [, VHOST= Y|N]

Internal operational parameters can be modified which will influence the behaviour of the program.

SYSLINE=Y Each time a new Task selection is made, either throuigh the Selection mask, or by means of the NP command, the current Task summary (total number of Type 1, 2, etc. tasks) will be displayed in the system line. (Standard)

SYSLINE=N The system line Task summary will be suppressed. This mode is particularly useful if TAS is called from a procedure. In this case, fewer messages will be written to SYSOUT.

STATION=O The station and processor name under which the task is running will be displayed in the Task list headed "STATION" and "PROC".

The STATION= parameter is only relevant for DCAM connections to $DIALOG, e.g. CFS Connections. The default setting of STATION=O will display the station and processor name as it appears in the STA tsn,TERM=ORIG command under the heading O_STAT and O_PROC. This is the name of the physical terminal from which CFS was originally started.

STATION=V The virtual station and processor names of DCAM connection to $DIALOG will be displayed in the "STATION" and "PROC" columns of the Task list.

NAMES=START

The name manager entries selected as a result of the User option NAME, the Action N, or the commands NAME or POOL will be displayed from the beginning of the entry. The end of the entry will be truncated if necessary. (Standard)

NAMES=END The name manager entries selected as a result of the User option NAME, the Action N, or the commands NAME or POOL will be displayed from the end of the entry. The beginning of the entry will be suppressed if necessary.

SHOW=PHYS The contents of the data area represented by means of the Action Code %xx (e.g. %TCB) will be displayed unformatted in Display format.

The SHOW= parameter has no effect if used in conjunction with the SHOW command (e.g. SHOW %XVT). The data will always be displayed in symbolic form.

SHOW=SYM The contents of the data area represented by means of the Action Code %xx (e.g. %TCB) will be displayed in symbolic form, with field names and the respective field contents.

VHOST=Y|N The default value for the VHOST parameter in the APPL command will be changed.

VHOST=Y: The virtual host of the application will be displayed in the Appl list. This equates to an APPL command with the parameter V=Y.

VHOST=N: The virtual host of the application will not be displayed in the Appl list. This equates to an APPL command with the parameter V=N.
