Specifying the Basegroup 

When altering or viewing a configuration through SYSGEN, you must first
select the configuration group for the operation.  Select this basegroup
by using the BASEGROUP parameter or command. 

You can specify the group only from the global level in SYSGEN, but you
can accomplish this in two ways.  You can use the BASEGROUP optional
parameter in the SYSGEN command line by entering:

     :SYSGEN [basegroup][,newgroup][,inputfile][,outputfile] 

Also, you can enter the SYSGEN global module and use the first level
command, BASEGROUP. Enter

     sysgen>BASEGROUP groupname 

The syntax for the BASEGROUP command (abbreviated BA) is:

     BASEGROUP [ [NAME=] groupname]

The BASEGROUP parameter groupname is a string of up to eight characters.

Use the command before viewing multiple configurations in succession.
(List configuration information through the LIST and SHOW commands of the
various configurators.)

If you specify a nonexistent group, SYSGEN issues the following error
message:

     **error** group "groupname" does not exist
