Parameter Definitions (*PRMDEF.xx)

The *PRMDEF file is used by the system utility program *UCP to maintain the descriptions and the valid ranges for the system parameters. This keyed file has one record for each system parameter keyed on the parameter code.

The record layout is:

Field #Description
1Short description of the parameter (16 character maximum).
2Minimum value.
3Maximum value. If the maximum value equals the minimum value, the parameter simply toggles OFF and ON.
4Default value.
5Reset indicator. A value of "Y" in this field indicates that changing this parameter may affect other parameters. Therefore, *UCP must refresh the screen whenever a change occurs.
6Help text.
