Purpose: The DIF
SYSPARM command can be used to create or display information about
SYSPARM global variables.
Syntax:
SYSPARM {SET | GET} keyname value [PRODUCT(prd)] [GLOBAL(group) | LOCAL]
Comments: A
SYSPARM global variable is stored in an extended CSA table, and is created using this SYSPARM command. Tip: This command can be entered via the operator console, or as a command in one of the DIF PARMLIB DD files.
Unlike local variables, global variables can be limited to specific products. Global variables can also be pooled into groups using the GLOBAL(group) parameter. The default group name is SYSIN. For more information, see “Conditional Statement Processing Using SYSPARM” .
Examples: The following DIF console commands set and then display a global variable:
F DIF,SYSPARM SET DTSGVAR ABC
F DIF,SYSPARM GET DTSGVAR
