Changing the default values for general APL variables

You can change the default values for the following variables used by more than one APL program product:

Variables which control whether users can access workspaces in other user's catalogs. If you do not change the default, the Information Center Facilityallows users to copy, create, and save workspaces in other users' catalogs, as well as in their own. VS APL, APL2®, APLDI, and ADRS normally allow users to copy, create, and save workspaces only in their own catalogs. To prevent users from accessing catalogs other than their own while using the Information Center Facility, change the values of the variables shown in Table 1 to N. The default value for each variable is Y.

Table 1. Variables controlling user access to other user's catalogs
Variable	Default contents
QCICOPYD	Y or N to control whether people can copy data from other user's catalogs into their own.
QCICOPYW	Y or N to control whether people can copy a private workspace from another user's catalog into their own.
QCICRE8W	Y or N to control whether people can create or save workspaces in other users' catalogs.

Variables which control the catalog or qualifier that is used in naming workspaces.

Note: These variables are for VS APL, APLDI, and ADRS only.

If you installed APL with changes to APLYUOPT, make the corresponding changes to the variables shown in Table 2.

Table 2. Variables controlling the catalog or qualifier for naming Workspaces
Variable	Default contents
QCIAPUBQ	The high-level qualifier for public workspaces. The initial value is @PL.
QCIAMIDQ	The middle-level qualifier for workspaces.
QCIALIBQ	The high-level qualifier for the catalog containing the library number and owner for project libraries.

The variable which contains the command and parameters that the Information Center Facilityuses to invoke APL. Table 3 describes the variable.

Variable Default contents
QCIAAPL VSAPL AI(10) FR(400) SH(64) SM(OFF) QUIET
If you installed APL with the APL Session Manager and you want the APL Session Manager to be active, you should:
- Change the parameters in the variable QCIAAPL, and
- Include an APL Session Manager profile data set.
In the variable QCIAAPL, specify SM(ON) and the name of the profile data set, PR(ICQ). In the profile data set, specify DISPLAY OFF and set PF keys 3 and 15 to issue the command APL IMMEDIATE )CONTINUE HOLD.
