Use the OPSPRM function of OPS/REXX to set or display the values of CA OPS/MVS parameters. The OPSPRM function is used in OPSVIEW option 4.1.1, Set/Display product parameters. Although you can also use the OPSPARM command processor to set or display parameter values, the OPSPRM function processes change or display requests more rapidly, so use OPSPRM if faster performance is important to you. In addition, you can use OPSPRM directly in an AOF rule. The numeric value returned by the OPSPRM function indicates the success or failure of the operation.
Note: You can use the OPSPRM function in OPS/REXX or AOF rules.
The OPSPRM function has two formats.
To display parameters, use this format:
var = OPSPRM("SHOW",parmname[,["INFO"][,["NAMES"][,system]]])
To set parameters or load module information, use this format:
var =OPSPRM("SET",parmname,value[,,system])
When the display format of the OPSPRM function (SHOW keyword) executes successfully, some number of records, containing information about the parameter, are placed on the OPS/REXX external data queue.
OPSPRM can also display information about the load modules that comprise CA OPS/MVS. Enter a module name instead of a parameter name to see the storage location, the assembly date, and other statistics about a module.
Note: When a SHOW function executes, it returns data in the EDQ.
