Entering the SYSGEN Global Module
The command for the SYSGEN utility is SYSGEN. SYSGEN has four positional
parameters:
SYSGEN [ basegroup ]
[ ,newgroup ]
[ ,inputfile ]
[ ,outputfile ]
The basegroup parameter specifies the group in the SYS account that
contains the configuration data file set to be used or changed. The
default base group is the group used to boot the system (usually CONFIG).
The default base group is the group specified in the initial system load
(ISL) START command line. (For information on specifying configuration
groups during START, refer to Chapter 3 .)
If you attempt to specify a nonexistent group using the BASEGROUP
command, SYSGEN issues the following message:
**error** group groupname does not exist
The newgroup parameter specifies the group used to store data. If you do
not specify newgroup, SYSGEN stores any configuration changes in the base
group by default.
If the group specified by newgroup already exists, SYSGEN asks, at keep
time, whether or not it should overwrite that group with new information.
At keep time, if the user does a KEEP with no parameters, SYSGEN keeps
the current base group unless newgroup was specified, in which case the
group given is used. More information on using the KEEP command is
provided later in this chapter.
The inputfile parameter specifies the file designator of the file for
command input. The formal file designator is SYSGIN. The default is
$STDINX.
The outputfile parameter specifies the file designator of the file for
SYSGEN output. 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 by entering RUN
SYSGEN.PUB.SYS.
