Purpose: The INITOPT command allows installations to bypass a problem with DIF initialization parameters. Since an EXEC PARM field is limited to 100 characters of parameter information, INITOPT commands can also be used to pass additional parameter information to DIF. For information about the available parameter options, examine “DIF -PARM Information” on page 6-7.

Syntax:
INITOPT {parameter}

Comments: The INITOPT command would normally be used in the DIFINIT member in the DIF parameter library. DIFINIT is processed very early during DIF initialization. This member can be used to modify OPSYS flags or pass parameter information to DIF with the INITOPT command.

Warning: Do not use DIFINIT to activate products. Use the STARTnn member instead.

Examples: The following INITOPT command can be placed in the DIFINIT member to automatically activate the communication links required for log consolidation. The EXEC CONNECT parameter processes the DEFCONN commands in the LGINIT member in the DIF parameter library: DTS.R71.PARMLIB.

For more information about log consolidation, examine “EXEC”

INITOPT EXEC=(CONNECT(LGINIT))
