Database Variable Definition Screen

This screen defines, displays, and modifies parameters of the Database variables of a specific group. You can enter this screen directly from the Database facility entry panel or from the Variable List screen.

For a detailed explanation of the parameters, see Chapter 3, "Control-M/Analyzer Variables."

To delete a parameter on the screen, erase it by pressing the EOF key or blank it out. If additional operations are required, Control-M/Analyzer issues appropriate instructions.

Database variable parameters are divided into the following three groups:

1. Basic Parameters (see NAME field through DESC field in Figure 30)
2. Generation Parameters (see MAXIMUM ACTIVE GENERATIONS field through LATEST field in Figure 30)
3. Validation Parameters (see TYPE field and MASK field in Figure 30)

The groups are separated by a delimiter line.
