Configuration list using MVS system symbols

By using MVS™ system symbols in VTAMLST, you can code a single configuration list that can be used to start VTAM® on multiple systems.

The following configuration list is coded using MVS system symbols.

**********************************************************
*
* Description: Configuration definition deck for host 1A
*
**********************************************************
CDRSC&SYSCLONE.,                                                       X
PATH&SYSCLONE.,                                                        X
APPL&USERSYM2.&USERSYM1.,                                          X
CDRM&SYSCLONE.

You assign values to MVS system symbols by including definitions for them in the IEASYMM1 parmlib member, as in the sample that follows:

************
************  IEASYMM1 MEMBER
************
SYSDEF    SYSCLONE(1A)
          SYMDEF(&USERSYM1='A')
          SYMDEF(&USERSYM2='1')
************
************  LOADM1 MEMBER
************

When these MVS system symbols are resolved, the configuration list above becomes the following list:

**********************************************************
*
* Description: Configuration definition deck for host 1A
*
**********************************************************
CDRSC1A,                                                               X
PATH1A,                                                                X
APPL1A,                                                                X
CDRM1A
