Description

This parameter is a bitmask parameter that affects the command mode prompt in an Online. The meaning of the bits in SIRPRMPT are:

X'01'

Add the jobname (or the VM's user ID under CMS) to the command mode prompt. This makes it easy to determine which Online one is connected to in command mode, possibly averting accidents like someone typing EOJ in a production Online when she means to be terminating a test Online.

X'02'

Add the name of the job step to the command mode prompt. Note that if the X'01' bit is on, the X'02' bit is ignored. The X'02' bit should not be used under CMS.

X'04'

When the EOJ command is issued from a full screen thread (IODEV=7, IODEV=11, IODEV=41, or IODEV=47), the user is prompted for the name of the Online (rather than for Yes or No) to confirm that the run is to be ended.

The X'04' setting was made available in version 7.5 of Model 204 and of the Sirius Mods.

X'08'

When the EOJ command is issued from a line-at-a-time thread, the user is prompted for the name of the Online (rather than for Yes or No) to confirm that the run is to be ended.

A line-at-a-time thread has one of the following IODEV values:

• 29 or 39 (a BATCH2 thread), 37 (see Note), 45, or:
• the value of the SDAEMDEV parameter (a Daemon thread).

Note: The IODEV=37 setting is no longer supported as of Model 204 version 7.6.

The X'08' setting was made available in version 7.5 of Model 204 and of the Sirius Mods.
