Creating the Parameter File

During the installation of CA Top Secret, a systems programmer creates a Parameter File that contains an initial set of control options selected by the MSCA.

The Parameter File:

• Is a standard sequential data set
• Can contain any number of records
• Control options are entered into the file without commas or separators
• Uses an asterisk in any column to delimit a title or comment statement
• Entries should begin in column one

Example: parameter file

This example separates several options that will not fit on a single command line:

FAC(TSO=MODE=IMPL,LOG=(ALL)) * TSO DIFFERENCES
FAC(TSO=LOCKTIME=5)
FAC(TSO=NOLUMSG,RNDPW)
