Parameters
4. Value from the NAME=v, if present in a non-NDDL parameter TYPE
instruction. This value is determined at DMAP compile time from the TYPE
instruction (regardless of its location in DMAP) that contains the statement.
5. Default value from the NDDL, if the NDDL keyword is specified on the
TYPE DMAP statement. Parameters listed in the NDDL always have a
default value of zero, blank, or FALSE, unless a value is explicitly given in
the PARAM NDDL statement.
6. Default value from the first occurrence of either a non-NDDL TYPE DMAP
statement or a module with a MPL default value. Non-NDDL TYPE DMAP
statements have a default value of zero, blank, or FALSE for real or integer,
character, or logical parameters.
7. Default value is zero, blank, or FALSE for real or integer, character, or logical
parameters.
Determining the current value of a variable parameter is also summarized in the
following table.
NDDL TYPEd Not TYPEd
Last executed assignment statement or module save (S,N,). The qualifier values for
NDDL parameters cannot change.
Bulk Data PARAM entry override, if parameter is type Y and has not been
previously reassigned in an assignment (=) statement (unless the PVT module has
been executed to reset the Bulk Data and Case Control PARAM entries).
Value on the data base name=v
from its first occurrence in
a TYPE statement
NDDL default value TYPE statement default
Predefined Variable Parameters
MPL default of
parameter first
occurrence
The program predefines the value of some variable parameters. It is not necessary to
type these parameters with a TYPE DMAP statement, nor is it possible to change their
type. We do not recommend changing these parameter values. The predefined
variable parameters are:
NAME VALUE TYPE
ALWAYS -1 Integer
NEVER +1 Integer
