PROFILE command operands

RECOVER

specifies that you can use the recover option of the EDIT command.

Note: You must be able to allocate the two data sets named userid.EDITUTL1 and userid.EDITUTL2, or have them pre-allocated for you in order to use EDIT with your profile set to RECOVER. The high-level qualifier for these two data set names can only be your userid, which might not be the same as your dsname-prefix (specified as a parameter of the PROFILE PREFIX command).

NORECOVER

specifies that you cannot use the recover option of the EDIT command. This is the default value for your profile when the profile is created.

CHAR(character) ¹

specifies the EBCDIC character that you want to use to tell the system to delete the previous character entered. You should not specify a blank, tab, comma, asterisk, or parentheses because these characters are used to enter commands. You should not specify terminal-dependent characters, which do not translate to a valid EBCDIC character.

If you are running under Session Manager, the system ignores the EBCDIC character.

Note: Do not use an alphabetic character as either a character-delete or a line-delete character. If you do, you run the risk of not being able to enter certain commands without accidentally deleting characters or lines of data. For instance, if you specify R as a character-delete character, each time you try to enter a PROFILE command the R in PROFILE would delete the P that precedes it. Thus it would be impossible to enter the PROFILE command as long as R is the character-delete control character.

CHAR(BS) ¹

specifies a backspace signals that the previous character entered should be deleted. This is the default value when your user profile is created.

NOCHAR ¹

specifies no control character is to be used for character deletion.

LINE(ATTN) ¹

specifies an attention interruption is to be interpreted as a line-deletion control character. This is the default value when your user profile is created.

Note: If a not valid character- and line-delete control character, or both are entered on the PROFILE command, an error message informs you of which specific control character is not valid. The character or line delete field in the user profile table is not changed. You can continue to use the old character- or line-delete control characters.

LINE(character) ¹

specifies a control character that you want to use to tell the system to delete the current line. If you are running under Session Manager, the system ignores the control character.

LINE(CTLX) ¹

specifies the X and CCTRL keys (pressed together) on a Teletype terminal are to be interpreted as a line-deletion control character. If you are operating a Teletype terminal, LINE is the default value when your user profile is created.

NOLINE ¹

specifies no line-deletion control character (including ATTN) is recognized.

PROMPT

specifies that you want the system to prompt you for missing information. This is the default value when your user profile is created.

NOPROMPT

specifies no prompting is to occur.

INTERCOM

specifies that you can receive messages from other terminal users. This is the default value when your user profile is created.

NOINTERCOM

specifies that you do not want to receive messages from other users.

PAUSE

specifies that you want the opportunity to obtain additional information when a message is issued at your terminal while a CLIST (see the EXEC command) or an in-storage command list (created by using the STACK macro) is executing. After a message that has additional levels of information is issued, the system displays the word PAUSE and waits for you to enter a question mark (?) or press the Enter key.

NOPAUSE

specifies that you do not want to be prompted for a question mark or Enter. This is the default value when your user profile is created.

MSGID

specifies diagnostic messages are to include message identifiers.

NOMSGID

specifies diagnostic messages are not to include message identifiers. This is the default value when your user profile is created.

MODE

specifies a mode message is requested at the completion of each subcommand of EDIT.

NOMODE

specifies, when this mode is in effect, the mode message (E or EDIT) is to be issued after a SAVE, RENUM, or RUN subcommand is issued and also when changing from input to edit mode. Specifying PROFILE NOMODE eliminates some of the edit mode messages. NOMODE has the same effect in the background as it does in the foreground. Your profile can be changed by using the PROFILE command with the appropriate operands. Only those characteristics specifically denoted by the operands specified are changed. All other characteristics remain unchanged.

After a new user ID is created and before the character-delete and line-delete control character, or both are changed, entering PROFILE LIST results in CHAR(0) and LINE(0) being listed. This indicates the terminal defaults for character-delete and line-delete control characters are used.

Although you receive RECOVER/NORECOVER as an option for this operand, you must be authorized to use the RECOVER options.

PREFIX(dsname_prefix)

specifies a prefix that is to be appended to all non-fully-qualified data set names. The prefix is composed of 1 to 7 alphanumeric characters and begins with an alphabetic character or one of the special characters #, $, or @.

NOPREFIX

specifies no prefixing of data set names by any qualifier is to be performed.

Note: For background processing, the default is the user ID.

WTPMSG

specifies that you want to receive all write-to-programmer messages at your terminal. Write-to-programmer messages are created by the WTO macro with ROUTCDE=11.

NOWTPMSG

specifies that you do not want to receive write-to-programmer messages. This is the default value when your user profile is created.

VARSTORAGE (HIGH)

indicates that CLIST variables and REXX OUTTRAP variables containing output from authorized commands invoked by REXX can be kept in storage above the 16M line.

VARSTORAGE (LOW)

indicates that CLIST variables and REXX OUTTRAP variables containing output from authorized commands invoked by REXX can only be kept in storage below the 16M line. If you specify VARSTORAGE with no operands, VARSTORAGE(LOW) is the default. This is the default value when your user profile is created.
