CA7MVS Customization Variables

The CA7MVS REXX program must be customized before using it. The initial section of the program contains several assignment statements for variables whose values are installation dependent.

Separator

Changes the command separator from the default vertical bar (|) to a character or string of your own choice.

Note: Choosing a single character can be problematic. You must use a character that will not be interpreted as part of a CA 7 command.

termname

Specifies the name of the virtual terminal to be used by CA7MVS. This name must be defined to VTAM, but need not be defined to the EPI.

termpswd

If the virtual terminal was defined to VTAM with a password (PRTCT keyword on the APPL statement), then you must specify that same password here.

applname

Specifies the name of the CA 7 VTAM application ID.

logmode

Specifies the log mode name to be used for the virtual terminal.

subsys

If you will be using a secondary copy of CA OPS/MVS with CA7MVS (a copy other than subsystem OPSS), then you must specify its four-character subsystem name here.

CA7_Userid

Specifies the CA 7 user ID (if required by CA 7).

CA7_Password

Specifies the CA 7 user ID password (if required by CA 7).

The CA 7 password and user ID are only required if CA 7 security was implemented.
