Purpose: The SET command can be used to change the names and flags associated with a product.

Syntax:


SET {product} {ALIAS} {value}
SET {product} {CMD} {value}
SET {product} {COMMON} {value}
SET {product} {DSA} {value}
SET {product} {EXECINIT} {value}
SET {product} {EXECTERM} {value}
SET {product} {MESSAGE} {value}
SET {product} {NAME} {value}
SET {product} {RCARDS} {value}
SET {product} {RCONVBUF} {value}
SET {product} {RELATED} {value}
SET {product} {RLLEBUF} {value}
SET {product} {RULE} {value}
SET {product} {DEBUG} {ON | OFF}
SET {product} {DREFRESH} {ON | OFF}
SET {product} {DUMP} {ON | OFF}
SET {product} {ENQ} {ON | OFF}
SET {product} {NOVERIFY} {ON | OFF}
SET {product} {RULELIST} {ON | OFF}
SET {product} {TRACE} {ON | OFF}
    

Synonym: T

Note: If the product parameter is specified as *, the SET command will be performed on the current product. The current product can be set with the PRODUCT command, or implicitly set by other DIF commands that specify a product.

Only two operands might be useful under normal operating conditions:

  • RULE: The RULE operand can be used to set the default name of the member containing the product’s rules. The member name can also be specified on the START or REFRESH commands.
  • RULELIST: If RULELIST is set to ON, the product will echo the rules control statements to the DIF SYSPRINT DD statement during the rules conversion process.
Tip: For installations that have a large number of rule statements resulting in buffer overflows, the RCARDS, RCONVBUF, and RLLEBUF operands can be used to provide larger conversion buffers. RCARDS defaults to 3500 card images, RCONVBUF defaults to 200 kilobytes for data structures, and RLLEBUF defaults to 6 kilobytes.
Note: If DUMP or TRACE is set to ON, the product will enable dump or trace processing. This is a short form of the ENABLE/DISABLE DUMP/TRACE commands. If additional operands are required, the ENABLE/DISABLE form of the command is required.

By default, products that use device tables automatically perform a rule refresh command when a device comes on-line or off-line. DREFRESH is automatic on any operating system that supports the Event Notification Facility (ENF). If the SET command is used to set DREFRESH to OFF, rule refresh processing will not be performed when a device changes status.

Note: When DEBUG is set to YES, two DD statements are available for debugging: $DIFDUMP and $$DIFLOG. The first controls the destination of the mini-dump records, and the second sets the level of logging information. For more information about the $DIFDUMP DD, examine Mini-Dumps.

Examples: To enable the facility to echo the rules language to the SYSPRINT DD statement, use the following console command:


F DIF,SET ACC RULELIST ON
