SDF-PAR

SDF-PAR is a utility that can be used to create, modify and display a parameter file for the product SDF. It thus offers an alternative to the privileged commands MODIFY-SDF-PARAMETERS and SHOW-SDF-PARAMETERS described in the “Commands“ manual [1]. One of the advantages of SDF-PAR is that the parameter file can be processed off-line.

The statements issued to SDF-PAR are defined in a user syntax file that is supplied with SDF-PAR.

Starting SDF-PAR

Privileges: TSOS

The following procedure, which is in the scope of delivery, is to be called to start SDF-PAR in BS2000 OS DX:

/CALL-PROCEDURE $.SYSPRC.SDF-PAR.210

The procedure contains the necessary preparations for the program call (the SDF-PAR message and syntax file are activated) in addition to the actual SDF-PAR call.

Before starting SDF-PAR, the SDF-PAR message file must be assigned, and the SDF-PAR user syntax file must be activated. All required preparations for the program run are also executed by the SYSPRC procedure supplied with delivery.

Since no START-SDF-PAR command is included in the supplied software package, the SYSPRG file has to be started with the START-EXECUTABLE-PROGRAM (or START-PROGRAM) command.

Further notes on the installation of SDF-PAR can be found the release notice of the software product SDF.
