UNIX BPXPRMxx Values workspace

As part of the customization of UNIX System Services, you can create BPXPRMxx members in SYS1.PARMLIB (where xx is a suffix used to distinguish between various customized PARMLIB members) to establish defaults for UNIX System Services.

The UNIX BPXPRMxx Values workspace reports three types of data about these members and their contents:

A list of active BPXPRMxx member suffixes from SYS1.PARMLIB.
Contents of the BPXPRMxx members, with comments eliminated, override rules applied to duplicates, and each individual statement on a separate row of the table view
Active individual values of many of the system parameters set by BPXPRMxx members or overridden by z/OS console commands

Use this workspace to see at a glance what values are in use, and to compare active values with what is specified in SYS1.PARMLIB. Because the table view that is displayed resolves the somewhat complicated override rules of the BPXPRMxx members, it shows more clearly the values that are being used and is more easily understood than looking at the BPXPRMxx members directly.

You can link to this workspace from the z/OS UNIX System Services Overview workspace.

This workspace can report historical data.
