However, going even further, create a new OMVS segment field, perhaps ENVAR (to mirror LE), in which you can set _any_ number of environment variables similar to how the ENVAR in LE is specified. Ref: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/ceea31c0/1.2.19 There is still the question about the hierarchy of inheritance. Personally, I would go: /etc/init.options overridden by OMVS ENVAR, overridden by PARM= ENVAR. -- The temperature of the aqueous content of an unremittingly ogled culinary vessel will not achieve 100 degrees on the Celsius scale.
