Specifying the Base Group 

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 the BASEGROUP command.

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

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

Also, you can enter the SYSGEN global module and use the first-level
command BASEGROUP:

     sysgen>BASEGROUP groupname 

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

     BASEGROUP [ [NAME=] groupname]

The groupname parameter is a string of up to eight characters.  For
example, to use BASEGROUP, enter the command and its parameter as shown:

     sysgen>BASEGROUP CONFG935 

or

     sysgen>BA MYCONFIG 
[REV BEG]

BA switches you to a different configuration group.[REV END] (List
configuration information through the LIST and SHOW commands of the
various configurators.)

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

     sysgen>BASEGROUP FEUDAL 
     **error** group "FEUDAL" does not exist

     sysgen>
