CCITIMEOUT

Allows the specification, in tenths of seconds, of the maximum time out period that will be used with any LSC style application, such as Drag and Drop, SourceConnect, or the Monitor. The default is 2 minutes (1200), and the maximum value that can be used is 2,147,483,647.

Example for setting this value to 4 minutes: 
SET CCITIMEOUT=2400
CCIERRLOG
Specifies the output location and filename of ccierr.log content which tracks first-instance errors reported from the operating systems. CCIERRLOG overrides any entries found in CCI.INI, where the syntax and content is explained in detail.

The port that is being used for the registration process.
Values
  • The port on which the CCITCP2 registration program operates.
CCITRACE
Specifies the level of CCI tracing
Values

Filename for and trace output and the trace options. The trace options are as follows:

  • /F or -F

    Logs the details of CCI API calls to the trace file. The default condition for this option is OFF, unless a filename or any other trace option are specified, in which case it is always ON.

  • /P or -P

    logs the details of protocol level calls to the trace file. If this flag is not ON, then only the details of the CCI user level API will be traced. If this flag is ON, the level of function tracing may be greatly increased. The default condition for this option is OFF.

  • /D or -D

    Logs the contents of all buffers passed to and from the CCI functions. The default condition for this option is OFF. Data tracing may not be allowed if the application has been coded to prohibit data tracing for security reasons.

CICS_SIT
The name of the SIT used by the region.
Values
  • The name of the SIT that the region uses.
COBAIF
The path location of the .aif files.

Values
  • The progid identifier that is used to identify the program to which Animator will attach.
COBATTR

Specifies non-standard behavior for HIGHLIGHT and LOWLIGHT clauses used with ACCEPT and DISPLAY statements. It provides compatibility with earlier COBOL products. You should avoid using it wherever possible as support might be discontinued at some future date.

Values

A value in the range 0 through 7. It can be one of the following values, or a cumulative value; for example, specifying a value of 6 would result in the behavior described for values 4 and 2.

  • 0

    Provides standard, default behavior.

    When a COBOL program displays text subject to a HIGHLIGHT or LOWLIGHT clause, the run-time system uses respectively the bold or dim mode specified in the terminfo entry for the terminal. If the bold or dim mode is not specified, then the HIGHLIGHT or LOWLIGHT clause respectively has no effect.

  • 1

    When a COBOL program displays text subject to a HIGHLIGHT clause, the run-time system uses the bold mode. The run-time system uses the default mode for normal text. Specifying dim mode in the terminfo entry for the terminal has no affect. The LOWLIGHT clause has no effect.

  • 2

    High and low intensity space characters are not assumed to be the same as normal mode space characters.

  • 3

    As for 1 and 2 above

  • 4

    Provides compatibility with default behavior of products before COBOL version 3.2.

    When a COBOL program displays text subject to a HIGHLIGHT clause, the effect depends on whether the dim mode is specified in the terminfo entry for the terminal. If dim mode is specified, then the run-time system uses the default mode for highlighted text and the dim mode for normal text. If the dim mode is not specified, then the run-time system uses the bold mode for highlighted text and default mode for normal text. The LOWLIGHT clause has no effect, giving the same appearance as normal text.

MFREXX_NOT
Specifies one or more characters to be used for the NOT operator in addition to REXX's default, which is "¬".
Values

MFREXX_OR
One or more characters to be used for the OR operator in addition to REXX's default, which is "|".

P

PATH
Directories to be searched for all UNIX programs.
PROCLIB
Specifies PROCLIB datasets. This can be a concatenation of PDS names.
PSBCPY
The location of copybook files for PSBGEN utility.

R

RANDOM
If using SSL connections, externally generated random data that is stored as a numeric value in the RANDOM variable will be inserted into the initial salt value used to generate temporary key pairs used in SSL hand-shaking. The RANDOM value will only form part of the initial salt value and is an aid to generating more randomness and not an essential requirement.

S

SHLIB_PATH
Locates shared libraries (applies to HP/UX only).
SORTCOMPRESS
Tells the system whether or not to execute a compression routine on each record to be sorted.
Values
  • SORTCOMPRESS=5 allows for run-length encoding of sort records, resulting in much better performance when records contain multiple repeated characters.
    Note: 5 is the only valid value for this environment variable.
SORTSCHEME
Activates a sortscheme. Use in conjunction with SORTSPACE for improved performance.
Values
  • SORTSCHEME=1 - this is the only valid value for the environment variable. See SORTSPACE below for more information.
SORTSPACE
The amount of memory to be allocated to internal workspace for SORT operations. This can be specified in different formats: for example, you could specify 64M, 2G, and 1000000 to give sort memory areas of 64 Megabytes, 2 Gigabytes and 1000000 bytes respectively.
Values
  • n[K|k|M|m|G|g No letter indicates bytes. Defaults to 1 megabyte.
SORTTEMPSPACE
The amount of temporary memory to be allocated to internal workspace for SORT operations. This can be specified in different formats much like the SORTSPACE environment variable. By using SORTTEMPSPACE, you can maximize available memory.
SORTTYPE
Defines the sort type.
Values
  • SORTTYPE=2 Forces SORT to use the file handler, so that format modifications are picked up from the extfh.cfg file.
  • Not setting this means SORT will try to use CBL_ routines to read and write files to improve performance.
Note: "2 is the only valid value for this environment variable.
SSLDIR
If using SSL connections specifies the generic location of the system's OpenSSL directory.
STEPLIB
The paths for Loader input load-members .390 files (must contain SYSLMOD) .
Note: For this environment, you can specify multiple paths, each separated by a semi colon.
SYSIN
