Use PARAMETERS to inspect or modify SYSGEN parameters on the systems in
 the current environment.  The subcommands of PARAMETERS are identical to
 the SYSGEN utility commands for manipulating parameters and parameter files.

  Format:

   PARAMETERS function [function-specific parameters]

Additional information available:

USEWRITEENABLEDISABLESETSHOW

Examples

 The PARAMETERS USE command reads a set of system parameters into a work
 area for inspection or manipulation.

 Format:

   PARAMETERS USE [source]

 Where [source] is:
     ACTIVE   - to read parameters from the currently running system.
                This requires CMEXEC privilege.
     CURRENT  - to read parameters from the disk image of the currently
                running system.  This requires CMEXEC privilege and READ
                access to SYS$SYSTEM:VAXVMSSYS.PAR.
     DEFAULT  - to read a parameter set containing the default value for
                all parameters.
     filespec - to read parameters from 'filespec'.  This requires READ
                access to 'filespec'.

 The PARAMETERS WRITE command writes the contents of the workarea to the
 specified destination.

 Format:

   PARAMETERS WRITE [destination]

 Where [destination] is:
     ACTIVE   - write the parameter set to the currently running system.
                This requires CMKRNL privilege.
     CURRENT  - write the parameter set to the disk image of the currently
                running system.  This requires CMKRNL privilege and WRITE
                access to SYS$SYSTEM:VAXVMSSYS.PAR.
     filespec - write the parameters set to 'filespec'.  This requires
                WRITE access to 'filename'.

 The PARAMETERS ENABLE command instructs the SYSMAN utility to check all
 parameter values to insure they fall within the defined minimum and
 maximum values. This setting remains in effect until either the SYSMAN
 utility is exited or a PARAMETERS DISABLE command is issued.  This is the
 default upon entering SYSMAN.

 Format:
   PARAMETERS ENABLE CHECKS

 The PARAMETERS DISABLE command instructs the SYSMAN utility to bypass
 the checking of  parameter values to insure they fall within the defined
 minimum and  maximum values. This setting remains in effect until either
 the SYSMAN utility is exited or a PARAMETERS ENABLE command is issued.

 Format:
   PARAMETERS DISABLE CHECKS

 Changes the value of a given parameter in the work area.

 Format:
   PARAMETERS SET name value

Additional information available:

NameValueCommand Qualifiers

 Specifies the name of the parameter to be changed, or "." to change the
 value of the most recently displayed parameter (See the SHOW command),
 or the filespec to use in setting the name of the site-independent
 startup procedure (see the /STARTUP qualifier).

 Specifies the new value for the parameter.  Values for ASCII parameters
 must be enclosed in quotations if they contain embedded blanks or other
 special characters.

 DEFAULT may be specified to set the parameter to its default value.

Additional information available:

/STARTUP

 /STARTUP [filespec]

 Will set the name of the site-independent startup procedure to the given
 file specification 'filespec'.  When this qualifier is used no 'name'
 or 'value' specifications are included on the command line.

 Displays the value of a parameter or group of parameters in the work area.

 Format:
   PARAMETERS SHOW [name]

Additional information available:

NameCommand Qualifiers

 Specifies the name of the parameter to be inspected.  It should be
 omitted if a group qualifier is given.  If less than the full name is
 specified, the first parameter matching the characters that were entered
 is displayed.

Additional information available:

/OUTPUT/STARTUP/HEX/ALL/ACP/CLUSTER/DYNAMIC
/GEN/JOB/LGI/MAJOR/NAMES/RMS/SCS
/SPECIAL/SYS/TTY/PQL

 /OUTPUT[=file-spec]

 Specifies that the output from the execution of this command is to
 written to the file specified, or to "[default_directory]SYSMAN.LIS"
 if no filespec is given.

 /STARTUP

 Will display the name of the site-independent startup procedure.

 /HEX

 Specifies that numeric parameters be displayed in hexadecimal rather than
 decimal radix.

 /ALL

 Specifies that the values of all SYSGEN parameters be displayed.

 /ACP

 Specifies that all files-11 ACP parameters be displayed.

 /CLUSTER

 Specifies that VAXcluster-specific parameters be displayed.

 /DYNAMIC

 Specifies that all parameters be displayed whose value would take effect
 immediately on a WRITE ACTIVE subcommand.

 /GEN

 Specifies that all general parameters be displayed.

 /JOB

 Specifies that all Job Controller parameters be displayed.

 /LGI

 Specifies that all LOGIN security control parameters be displayed.

 /MAJOR

 Specifies that the most important parameters be displayed.

 /NAMES

 Specifies that only the parameter names be displayed.  Further group
 qualifiers may be added if only the names of a particular group are
 desired.

 /RMS

 Specifies that all Record Management System parameters be displayed.

 /SCS

 Specifies that all VAXcluster System Communication Subsystem parameters
 be displayed.

 /SPECIAL

 Specifies that all special parameters be displayed.

 /SYS

 Specifies that all SYS parameters be displayed.

 /TTY

 Specifies that all terminal driver parameters be displayed.

 /PQL

 Specifies that all default process quotas be displayed.

 SYSMAN> PARAMETERS USE current

 This command will read the sysgen parameters from the disk image of
 the currently running system,  SYS$SYSTEM:VAXVMSSYS.PAR.  This
 requires read access to this file, and CMEXEC privilege.


 SYSMAN> PARAMETERS SET lrpcount 75

 This command sets the value of the LPRCOUNT parameter to 75.  This
 value will not go into effect until a WRITE command is issued.





 SYSMAN> PARAMETERS SET/STARTUP sys$startup:startup.com

 This command defines sys$startup:startup.com as the site-independent
 startup procedures.


 SYSMAN> PARAMETERS WRITE active

 This command will write the parameters set to the currently running
 system.  This requires CMKRNL privilege.
