OPT Entries

You can use OPT entries in the STAM parameter file to override the default values for various STAM keywords. OPT entries have the following format:

[sysname] OPT keyword1=value,keyword2=value,keywordn=value

To provide different options for each system in the complex, use the sysname field on the OPT entry as follows:

• If the sysname field is blank, then the OPT entry applies to ALL systems in the complex.
• If the sysname field has a STAM system name, then the OPT entry applies only to that system in the complex and overrides global OPT entry keyword values.

The characters OPT should start in position 10, followed by one or more blanks and the parameter field, consisting of one or more keyword=value pairs. See the table Valid keywords

Note: For more information about an OPT entry and description of each keyword and its corresponding values, see OPT Entry Keywords and Values.
