Want to view ALL of your C:D z/OS Init Parms, including default values?

Body

Sometimes you need to know Init Parm default values in addition to those that you explicitly coded. You could view the DTF Started Task NDMLOG or the Init Parm input you coded, but that won't give you defaults. You could look up the default values in the C:D z/OS documentation, but that can be tedious if you need to know more than a few defaults.

Here are three different interface commands that will show every Init Parm including default values:

• In the IUI, enter the following command:

ADMIN;INQ;IPRM

• From the Operator Interface, enter one of these MODIFY commands:

/F jobname,CMD,INQ,INIT

OR

/F jobname,CMD,IPRM

• Submit a DGADBATC (DMBATCH) job with the following SYSIN:

//SYSIN DD *
 SIGNON USERID=(userid,password)
   INQ INIT
 SIGNOFF
