Entering the SYSGEN Global Module
The command for the SYSGEN utility is SYSGEN. SYSGEN has four positional
parameters:
SYSGEN [ basegroup ]
[ ,newgroup ]
[ ,inputfile ]
[ ,outputfile ]
Basegroup. This is the group in the account SYS that contains the
configuration data file set to be used or changed. The default basegroup
is the group used to boot the system (usually CONFIG). The default
basegroup is the group specified in the initial system load (ISL) START
command line.
If you attempt to specify a nonexistent group via the BASEGROUP command,
SYSGEN issues the message:
***error** group groupname does not exist
Newgroup. This is the group used to store data. If you do not specify
NEWGROUP, SYSGEN stores any configuration changes in the basegroup.
If the group specified by NEWGROUP already exists, SYSGEN asks whether or
not it should overwrite that group with new information. If you want to
save the existing group, save the changes to another group name specified
in the KEEP command line. Then you can override the group specified in
NEWGROUP.
Inputfile. This is the file designator of the file for command input.
The formal file designator is SYSGIN. The default is $STDINX.
Outputfile. The file designator of the file for output requests. The
formal file designator is SYSGOUT. The default is $STDLIST.
When using parameters with the SYSGEN command, place them immediately
following the command:
SYSGEN [basegroup][,newgroup][,inputfile][,outputfile]
When using parameters with RUN SYSGEN.PUB.SYS you must specify them in
the "phrase" INFO=" ":
RUN SYSGEN.PUB.SYS;INFO="[basegroup][,newgroup][,inputfile][,outputfile]"
Example 4-1 illustrates activating SYSGEN's global module. Activate the
SYSGEN global module by entering the command, SYSGEN, or entering, RUN
SYSGEN.PUB.SYS.
