The MPE/iX Command Interpreter (CI) is a Native Mode Program. You can run it the way you would any other program, either by explicitly using the RUN command (the first example below), or by using the the implied RUN (the second example):

  RUN CI.PUB.SYS

  CI

In the first case, the RUN command controls execution of the CI. For more information, refer to the RUN command in this chapter.

The second case, referred to as implied run, is limited to recognizing the INFO= and PARM= parameters. If you enter both INFO= and PARM=, PARM= goes into effect after the INFO= string is passed. The Table 2-1 "Parm= values for the CI" shows the Parm= values.

Table 2-1 Parm= values for the CI

Parm Action
0 UDC's are cataloged, the CI banner is displayed, and the WELCOME message is displayed. This is the default.
1 Same as 0, however the CI terminates after processing the info string; it terminates after the first command is executed if no info string is specified.
2 UDC's are cataloged, the CI banner is suppressed, and the WELCOME message is suppressed.
3 Same as 2, however the CI terminates after processing the info string; it terminates after the first command is executed if no info string is specified.
4 Logon UDC's are executed, UDC's are available, the CI banner is displayed, and the WELCOME message is displayed.
5 Same as 4, however the CI terminates after processing the info string; it terminates after the first command is executed if no info string is specified.
-1 UDC's are not cataloged, the CI banner is suppressed, and the WELCOME message is suppressed. This requires SM capability.
-2 Same as -1, however the CI terminates after processing the info string; it terminates after the first command is executed if no info string is specified. This requires SM capability.


NOTE: Parm -1 and -2 can be defeated via a SYSGEN misc configuration setting.
