PARMLIB DIRECTORY

The following is a list of the Parmlib Directory Section attribute names in alphabetic order. The following special values can be used in this section:

• $THIS = Indicates that this section is located in the same parmlib member as the Parmlib Directory Section. If the Parmlib Directory Section is in the member OSPARMS and Startup Commands=$THIS, then the Startup Commands Section is also in the OSPARMS member. By coding $THIS in the Parmlib Directory Section values for the sections located in the OSPARMS member, you do not have to change the values when the VTPARMS member is renamed or copied to a member with a different name.
• $NULL = Indicates that this section does not exist. This is only a valid value for the Startup Commands, Shutdown Commands, and Volume Pool Definitions Sections.
