Parameter file for ARCHIVE

The parameter file SYSPAR.ARCHIVE.<ver>, which is supplied together with ARCHIVE, contains presettings for the most important ARCHIVE operands. Some operands are omitted either for security reasons (e.g. PASSWORD) or because they are used only infrequently (e.g. CONVERSION for RESTORE).

The SHOW-DEFAULT statement (see "SHOW-DEFAULT Display the default parameter settings") of ARCHIVE contains a list of the ARCHIVE parameters and a description of individual parameters.

The parameter file is assigned in the ARCHIVE subsystem declarations for DSSM as a subsystem information file.

ARCHIVE parameters are only used in ARCHIVE statements if the operand corresponding to the parameter is not specified in the statement (see “Underlining”, "Metasyntax").
In the syntax representation, the presetting for the parameters is specified as the default value (see "SHOW-DEFAULT Display the default parameter settings"). The value for the parameter can differ from the presetting if the parameter file is altered, see below.
