Confirming Potentially Serious Actions
SYSGEN is initially set to confirm a potentially serious action. If, for
example, you make configuration changes and attempt to exit without
saving the changes, SYSGEN warns you that you are about to lose your
changes.
You can enable PERMYES to automatically accept all decisions entered at
the terminal or disable it to ask if the user wishes to change a command
that seems improper. The abbreviated command for PERMYES is PE. This
command is particularly useful when SYSGEN receives input commands from a
file or batch job.
If PERMYES is OFF (the default), SYSGEN prompts you for a YES/NO response
whenever a potentially serious action, such as exiting SYSGEN without
saving configuration changes, is initiated. If you respond negatively,
the action does not take place and the command is ignored. If PERMYES is
ON, you are not prompted for confirmation. SYSGEN executes the command
exactly as entered.
To enable PERMYES, enter PERMYES ON at the SYSGEN prompt:
sysgen>PERMYES ON
To disable PERMYES, enter PERMYES OFF at the SYSGEN prompt:
sysgen>PERMYES OFF
Once PERMYES is disabled, SYSGEN issues messages to prompt for
confirmation. Example 4-4 demonstrates PERMYES OFF action.
NOTE PERMYES should always be set ON in command files to allow SYSGEN to
continue where confirmation would be requested.

Example 4-5 PERMYES ON Action
Enabling PERMYES saves time and effort by answering YES to all prompting,
particularly when a command input file is used or a batch job is
executed. Enabling PERMYES can also allow mistakes. In the previous
example, the changes are not kept because the HOLD command was not
entered, and the system automatically answered YES to the (YES/NO) exit
confirmation.
