IPLPRM File

This operating system file defines Thoroughbred Basic environment parameters that apply to all users of Thoroughbred Basic. This file may contain any of the PRM statements described in IPLINPUT File of this manual, optionally followed by an END statement. The PRM statements in this file are inserted immediately after the PTN statement while the IPLINPUT file is being loaded into memory. When the same PRM statement appears in both the global IPLPRM file and the local IPLINPUT file, the action taken is the same as if both statements were present in IPLINPUT.

Note: The IPLPRM can be disabled by setting the IPLPRM variable to N on individual systems.
Example: IPLPRM=N
