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 "System Startup Functions")
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:
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.
