Description

The CUSTOM parameter enables special modifications by Rocket Software to standard execution.

You do not have to enclose a single CUSTOM setting with parentheses, for example:

CUSTOM=8

Multiple values must be specified in a list and enclosed in parentheses, for example:

CUSTOM=(1,2,3,4,6,8,9,10,11)

The current usages are:

Setting	Usage
CUSTOM=(1)	Century can be omitted on date input
CUSTOM=(2)	Century is omitted on date output
CUSTOM=(3)	$DAYI should return day values 2 through 8. $DAY should equate value 2 through 8 as Monday through Sunday and full length day name should be returned. Value 9 returns MON-FRI.
CUSTOM=(4)	Display field defaults to DDL ABBREV
CUSTOM=(6)	The LOGOUT message is: M204.2628: uuuuuuuuuu aaaaaaaaaa LOGOUT yy mmm dd hh.mm
CUSTOM=(7)	Obsolete as of Model 204 V7R1.0.
CUSTOM=(8)	Connect:clients can issue the LOGIN command from Remote Command Line (RCL) threads. Clients can login with a new user name without closing the current connection to start another one.
CUSTOM=(9)	Suppresses all output from all forms of the PRIORITY command
CUSTOM=(10)	Allows filename entry using more than eight characters
CUSTOM=(11)	Controls mixed case password support. If it is set, then mixed case passwords are allowed for both external and CCASTAT security. If it is not set, all passwords are uppercase.

Using the CUSTOM parameter with date conversions

If CUSTOM=(1) is added to the User 0 CCAIN stream or set later using the RESET command, the following occurs: If a CYY format is specified for conversion and only a YY input is supplied, the conversion is successfully completed by using the CENTSPLT and BASECENT parameters. See "CENTSPLT: Computing the base century" and "BASECENT: Base century value" for details.
