The OPTIONS function panel consists of three sections:

• ELIPS site options
• CA Librarian library initialization options
• ELIPS user options

The first line in the ELIPS INSTALLATION OPTIONS section shows the CA Librarian release number and release date.

Note: You must specify an CA Librarian library data set name for this function in either the PROJECT, LIBRARY, TYPE fields, or the OTHER MASTER DSNAME field.

PASSWORD REQUIREMENT

Indicates whether the CA Librarian password is required for READ, UPDATE or DELETE functions. If the CA Librarian library requires passwords as an initialization option, then passwords are required, regardless of the ELIPS installation option.

PROGRAMMER NAME REQUIREMENT

Indicates whether the programmer name is required for ADD or UPDATE. (TSO ID) additionally indicates that ELIPS always uses the TSO user ID as the programmer name, regardless of what is supplied.

DESCRIPTION REQUIREMENT

Indicates whether you must supply the CA Librarian description for ADD or UPDATE.

HISTORY DATA REQUIREMENT

Indicates whether you must supply CA Librarian history records for adds and updates to members.

CROSSCHECKING OPTIONS

Indicate whether any are in effect. If CCF is YES, then access to LIB/CCF controlled production CA Librarian libraries is restricted according to the rules the LIB/CCF administrator specified. If TLICD is YES, then no member currently outstanding through the LIBGET command can be updated using any ELIPS function.

TYPE

DEFAULT is the ELIPS TYPE (see the TYPES command) that is used when the CA Librarian member to edit either does not have an CA Librarian LANG or the LANG is not defined in the ELIPS TYPE table. The TYPE determines the edit PROFILE that is used.

LIBRARIAN LIBRARY INITIALIZATION OPTIONS

Shown for the CA Librarian library that is currently specified on the ELIPS entry panel.

DSNAME

Identifies the CA Librarian library.

VOLUME

The volume where that library resides.

ARCHIVING SUPPORTED

Indicates whether the library supports archiving. If YES, then MAXIMUM LEVELS is the maximum number of archived levels that any one member can have. When a member that has reached this maximum number is updated, the oldest level is removed.

PASSWORDS REQUIRED

Indicates whether passwords are required to access members in this library using any ELIPS function except INFO and LIST.

SECURITY INVOKED

Indicates whether CA Librarian library security is activated. NO indicates that no security is activated. YES indicates that the AllFusion CA‑Librarian management code (MCD) is activated. EXT indicates that an external security system is activated.

VAR/NOVAR

Indicates whether automatic Source-Load audit trail variable substitution takes place for batch CA Librarian and LIB/AM executions.

SEQUENCE DEFAULT

Shows the sequence number column, sequence field length, increment, starting number, and RESEQ/NORESEQ option that is used when the language TYPE is defined to use the library default. This is the sequence value that ELIPS generates, based on the TYPE entry for the language in the ELIPS TYPES table, when no sequence value is supplied.

The ELIPS USER OPTIONS section lets you modify the SYSOUT class and destination for the PRINT function.

The default CLASS is A. There is no default value for destination (DEST). These options remain in effect, once set, until changed again.

Note: An asterisk (*) is not a valid SYSOUT CLASS for the ELIPS PRINT function.
