Override Area
Override areas are delimited by the :overname and :END
tags and may contain the :PRODID tag and any of the following sections:
These sections contain parameters for the product.
An override area should only contain tags and sections for the component areas you want to change.
With the exception of the :overname tag, all of the tags and sections in the component area of the source PPF are the same as in the component area of the usable form PPF. The syntax of the tags that begin sections is extended to help you define changes that you want to make to the component area. Remember, in override areas, variables defined in the variable declarations section have not yet been resolved.
The override area has the following syntax (see Source Product Parameter File ($PPF), Overall Syntax):
- :overname.
- marks the beginning of an override area. :overname is
a 1-8 character uppercase name or keyword that identifies a product.
The :overname tag is used by the VMFOVER EXEC to locate
the override areas listed on the :OVERLST tag.
- compname
- is a pointer to the component area that this override area changes.
- novername
- is a pointer to the next override area in the chain of override areas that eventually lead to a component area.
- ppfname
- is a pointer to the source or override PPF that contains compname or novername. If ppfname is not supplied, it defaults to the name of the source or override PPF that contains overname.
