SYSP

SYSP={aa        }
     {(aa,bb...)}
Restriction: This parameter can be specified only by the operator. It cannot be specified in a system parameter list. It is included here for the sake of completeness.

The SYSP parameter specifies that one or more alternate system parameter lists (for example, IEASYS01, IEASYS02, and so on) that the system is to read after the default list IEASYS00. The two alphanumeric characters, represented by aa, bb, and so on, are appended to IEASYS to name the alternate lists. You can specify any number of alternate parameter lists. The specification cannot be prohibited by the OPI parameter.

When specifying alternate parameter lists on SYSP, consider the following points about the way the system processes parameter lists:
  • If a system parameter is specified in both IEASYS00 and an alternate parameter list selected by the operator, the value in the alternate parameter list overrides the value in IEASYS00.
  • You can also specify alternate parameter lists on the SYSPARM parameter in the IEASYMxx and LOADxx parmlib members. See Step 2. Determine where to specify system parameters for information about how the system processes the alternate parameter lists that are specified in IEASYMxx, LOADxx, and on SYSP.
  • The system processes the suffixes on SYSP from left to right. If the suffixes indicate two or more parameter lists that contain the same parameter, the value on the parameter that is processed last overrides the values on any parameters that were processed previously.

Do not specify system symbols on the SYSP parameter.

Example: The operator responds to SPECIFY SYSTEM PARAMETERS by entering:
R 00,SYSP=(01,02)
Assume that the two specified members contain the following parameters:
  • IEASYS01: MLPA=(00,01),SQA=8
  • IEASYS02: MLPA=02,SQA=10

NIP would accept MLPA=02 and SQA=10, in addition to other parameters contained in IEASYS00.

Value range: Any two alphanumeric characters
Default: 00, which specifies IEASYS00.
Associated parmlib member: IEASYSxx
