The IPLINPUT file has a rigid format. The different types of statements must appear in the order displayed above. The sample statements displayed in the above example are fully described in the following sections:

CNF

statements specify configuration information. This statement is described in IPLINPUT File.

PTN

statements specify partition information. This statement is described in IPLINPUT File.

PRM

statements specify Thoroughbred Basic environmental parameters. These statements are described in IPLINPUT File.

DEV

statements specify logical and physical devices Thoroughbred Basic can use. These statements are described in IPLINPUT File.

IPL

statements specify the program Thoroughbred Basic loads when it is started. This statement is described in IPLINPUT File.

END

statements specify the end of the IPLINPUT or IPL file. This statement is described in IPLINPUT File.

Inclusion of operating system environment variables, which is not illustrated in the above examples, is discussed in IPLINPUT File.

The IPLPRM file contains environment parameters that apply to all users of Thoroughbred Basic. For more information on the IPLPRM file please refer to IPLRM File.
