SYS - Define and Activate a Set of Dynamic Profile Parameters

This Natural profile parameter enables you to activate a set of dynamic profile parameters which is predefined in the Natural parameter module. This avoids the repeated specification of long sequences of profile parameters for the Natural session start. Alternatively, a similar functionality is provided by the profile parameter PROFILE.

In the parameter module (NATPARM), you use NTSYS macros to predefine sets of dynamic profile parameters. You identify such a set of parameters by giving it a unique set name.

Possible settings set-name set-name (1 to 8 characters) defined by the NTSYS macro in the Natural parameter module (NATPARM).
Default setting none  
Dynamic specification yes This parameter can only be specified dynamically.
Specification within session no  

The specified parameter set must be defined in the Natural parameter module (NATPARM) currently active, e.g. in an alternative parameter module, if it is specified by the PARM parameter before the SYS parameter.

A parameter set is evaluated right in its position of SYS in the parameter string, as you would have included the defined parameter string at this position instead.

The following topics are covered below:


SYS Parameter Syntax

The parameter syntax of SYS is as follows:

SYS=set-name

NTSYS Macro Syntax

The NTSYS macro is specified for each set of parameters as follows:

NTSYS set-name,'parameter-string1','parameter-string2',...

Syntax Element Description:

set-name

The set-name identifies the subsequent set of parameters, it can be 1 to 8 characters long and must begin with an alphabetical character.

parameter-string

After the set-name, you specify individual profile parameters and their values. For the profile parameters you can specify, see Profile Parameters in the Parameter Reference documentation.

  • The entire set of parameters you specify with an NTSYS macro must constitute a valid string of dynamic parameters. The specified parameter string is not checked for validity during the NATPARM assembly.

  • If parameter-string1 exceeds 255 characters, you must define a second parameter string parameter-string2, etc.

  • All parameter strings of one NTSYS macro are concatenated to one set of parameters.

  • An apostrophe within a substring is represented by two apostrophes.
