Specify Parameters Using the Input List

CA GMI uses the input list to pass parameters to CA SYSVIEW objects.

Follow these steps:

Select the Input List icon on the object view toolbar.
The Input List dialog opens.
Specify input parameter settings for the object.

The input list data for CA SYSVIEW objects uses a keyword-parameter pair format:

KEYWORD parameters

Keyword is either:

ASID and SYSVIEW Option are used to control the switching to a specific address space.

PARM is used to pass parameters to CA SYSVIEW commands.

The following sample shows the CTRANS object keywords and parameters.

ASID xxxxx | nnnnn. | jobname | jnnnnn

CICS jobname

{CTRANS | PARM}* {Local | Global}
                 {SYSTEM | INTERVAL | TOTAL}

* - Optional. If you do not specify either the command name or PARM, the parameters are assumed to be object parameters.

Examples: Passing CTRANS parameters

The following examples show switching modes and address spaces in the CICS Transaction Summary display.

This example changes the mode from global to local:
```
CTRANS Local
PARM Local
Local
```
This example changes the mode from local to global:
```
CTRANS Global
PARM Global
Global
```
This example changes the default address space to SYSVC510 and mode to global:

After the object executes, the CICS transaction summary data displays for the CICS SYSVC510 region and GLOBAL mode.

For the address space switchable objects, the Info Area usually contains the name of the address space in focus.

Note: To see an explanation of the object parameters, open the Help About Object online help systems from the toolbar of the object.
