INITPARM
The INITPARM system initialization parameter specifies that parameters are to be passed to application programs that use the ASSIGN INITPARM command.
- INITPARM=(pgmname_1='parmstring_1'[, .... ,pgmname_n='parmstring_n'])
- You can use INITPARM to pass parameters to
PLTPI programs to be executed in the final stages of system initialization.
The area giving access to the parameters is specified by the ASSIGN
INITPARM command. For programming information about the ASSIGN
INITPARM command, see ASSIGN .
- pgmname
- The name of a program. This name must be 1 through 8 alphanumeric or national language characters.
- parmstring
- The parameter string (up to 60 characters enclosed by single quotes) to be passed to the associated program. Any quotes imbedded in the string must be duplicated. For information on coding INITPARM in the SYSIN data set, see Rules for coding CICS system initialization parameters in the SYSIN data set.
You can specify up to 255 pgmname='parmstring' sets.
Note: You can specify the INITPARM keyword and its parameters more than once, see Sample startup job stream, note 5. If you specify INITPARM multiple times for the same program, the final INITPARM parameter specified is the parameter that the system uses. If you specify INITPARM multiple times for different programs, the INITPARM parameters specified are merged.
