delete SYSTEM symbolic parameter

[Frank Swarbrick]

Other than IPLing, is there a way to delete a SYSTEM symbolic parameter (set
by // SETPARM SYSTEM,parmname=something)?
I can set it to "null", but I really want it gone totally.

Thanks,
Frank

I don't think so... I haven't seen a JCL or console command for
that. Your own assembler program may be able to do that.

Frank,

I did not know of one in 2002 either- so I wrote SYSVAR- can be
downloaded from FREEWARE on my site.

Problem (for you): it is free. But hey- It is okay if you declare the
code to be your own (comes with source).

Perfect! That did the trick.

I notice that you used MODESET KEY=ZERO. Interesting...

Here's another thing perhaps of interest. You probably know that there is
now a VSE AR command "QUERY SETPARM,SYSTEM". Before I ran your program I
got this:
QUERY SETPARM,SYSTEM
AR 0015 DBNAME =
AR 0015 1I40I READY

Afterward I get this:
QUERY SETPARM,SYSTEM
AR 0015 BNAME =
AR 0015 1I40I READY

Still, DBNAME no does not exist, so it does what I want.

Thanks!
Frank

Is that a question or a remark/reminicense to a recent thread.

If it was a question: I use it because I need key 0 for certain things.

Interstingly- I know that they now have implemented part of what SYSVAR
does.... the effect that you see is exactly what I do. I move a low
value to the first byte. This effectly makes it impossible to retrieve
that parm.

The fact that QUERY SYSTEM,SYSPARM shows it, demonstrates IMHO what
happens when one part is written by A and the other part by B. And this
is no reference to qualification! ;-)

Just a remark based on your comment about KEY=ZERO in the "using GETSYMB
macro under CICS" thread. :-)

'Tis amusing, yes.
