The CMS Commands and Utilities Reference Appendix "Customizing Profiles for CMS Productivity Aids" lists 10 profiles (plus 4 just for FILELIST) that can be seen with the CMS command DEFAULTS and can be overridden with "DEFAULTS SET xxxxxxxx PROFILE newprof" (where "xxxxxxxx" is an EXEC Fn from the list such as DIRLIST or RDRLIST, for FILELIST "PROFILE" might instead be "PROFILEn" where n=[2|3|4], and "newprof" is an XEDIT file). (For reference, the EXEC Fn list is: Alialist , Authlist , Csllist , Cslmap , Dirlist , Filelist , Maclist , Note , Peek , Rdrlist , Vmlink .)
I would like to make these overrides more portable: one XEDIT file instead of multiples. Of course doing so means the converged file will need to be able to determine who he's supposed to be each time when called (unless I only use changes that blanket ALL included profiles, which I would rather not do). I have found a partial solution to do so, but I am not happy with it. The "solution" is: 'PIPE REXXVARS 1', '| DROP 1', '| NFIND v', '| SPECS w2 1', '| ALL /FILELIST/ ! /DIRLIST/ ! /RDRLIST/ ! /PEEK/', '| VAR TARPROF' (So, currently only checking the calling program for the existence of variables: "FILELIST", "DIRLIST", "RDRLIST", and "PEEK". Then setting value of "TARPROF" to the name of the variable found, before doing a SELECT structure with "TARPROF".) Because the EXEC from the list checks for its DEFAULTS profile setting via: 'GLOBALV SELECT $'"USERID"() 'GET xxxxxxxx' , where "xxxxxxxx" = EXEC Fn from the list and sets a variable with the same EXEC Fn. The problem is: PEEK EXEC sets BOTH variable PEEK and NOTE , so I can't have both PEEK / PROFPEEK and NOTE / PROFNOTE in the same converged file using this single method. (Otherwise the "solution" works for the 4 profiles I'm currently working with.) Eventually, I may even wish to combine this file with my PROFILE XEDIT as well, if possible. Any ideas?
