Setting job variables on BS2000 systems

Job variables can be set for an XATMI application. They are linked to the application using the following link names:

XTPATH	Link to job variable containing the prefix for the names of the trace files. If this link name is not assigned to any job variable, the names of the trace files will be constructed without any prefix.
XTLCF	Link to job variable containing the file name of the Local Configuration File (LCF). The name of the Local Configuration File must comply with the operating system conventions. The system searches for the file under the current user ID. If XTLCF is not assigned to any job variable, the system searches under the name XATMILCF under the current user ID.
XTPALCF	Link to job variable containing the search path for additional descriptions of typecast buffers. The buffer descriptions are read from Local Configuration Files with the names XATMILCF or the name specified with XTLCF. The system continues to search for all the important XATMI configurations (e.g. SVCU ...) in the Local Configuration File specified by XTLCF. The system searches for Local Configuration Files under all the IDs specified in the search path and the descriptions of the typecast buffers are collected internally from these files (in the event of two identical names, only the first buffer description takes effect). The search path is specified in the form userid1:userid2:....
XTCLTTR	Link to job variable containing the trace mode for the XATMI client application. Possible specifications:
	E (Error): Activates the error trace
	I (Interface): Activates the interface trace for the XATMI calls
	F (Full): Activates the full XATMI trace and that UPIC trace

If the software product JV is loaded as a subsystem, the job variables can be set as follows on BS2000 systems, for instance:

1. Create job variable:

   CREATE-JV JV-NAME=FULLTR

2. Pass value to job variable:

   MODIFY-JV JV[-CONTENTS]=FULLTR, SET-VALUE=‘F‘

3. Set task-specific job variable link:

   SET-JV-LINK LINK-NAME=XTCLTTR, JV-NAME=FULLTR

4. Show task-specific job variable link:

   SHOW-JV-LINK JV[-NAME]=FULLTR

5. Delete task-specific job variable link:

   REMOVE-JV-LINK LINK-NAME=XTCLTTR

The job variables are task-specific on BS2000 systems. Different job variables can be assigned to a second application running under the same ID.
