To find out which predefined environments are available and in which a particular option is set, use
SSM option 4 (Define Environment Settings)
or the
DEFINE-ENVIRONMENT TCL command.
- $<.FORMAT
- Changes the position of the currency symbol when this is combined with
the E credit indicator in
ML and MR conversion codes.
The default is to place the currency symbol inside the chevrons that enclose
negative values (that is, after the "<" chevron). When this option is set,
the currency symbol will be placed before the "<" chevron. Also applies to
DataBasic format
strings.
- 2DIGIT.DATE
- Changes the format of the output of the English
DD, DM and DAM conversion codes
to include a leading zero, if appropriate, in the day and month. Provided for
compatibility with other
MultiValue systems.
- ACCOUNT.LOGON
-
Determines whether the account logon program runs when the user logs on to
Reality. If set, on completion of the user logon program, the account logon
program runs; otherwise, only the user logon program runs. See
Logon Control Programs.
Note: Because this option only affects operation when a user logs on, it can only
be applied through the user's profile. Changing this option with
SET-ENVIRONMENT
or SET-OPTION
has no effect.
- ALT.MT
- Allows decimal points to be used as separators in times passed to the
MT input conversion code.
- ALTFCORR
- In the English
F conversion code,
reverses the order of the operands for division, remainder,
subtraction and concatenation, so that these operations work as for the FS code.
The
relational operators ([, ], < and >) continue to operate as for the F code.
- ALTHEADING
Subtly changes the relationship of
heading and page number, particularly in DataBasic. The most noticeable change
is that a null heading maintains pagination, but outputs no line, and that after
a heading is initially defined, re-execution of the HEADING statement in DataBasic
will not cause a heading to be created until the end of the current
page. Also, the page number is right-adjusted in a field of four blanks, unless
the PN option is used, in which case it will be left-adjusted.
SYSTEM(4), SYSTEM(5) and SYSTEM(6) continue to
function as though a heading is in effect with this null heading.
- BSELECT.NULL
- Causes null attributes to be included in the list
produced by the BSELECT
and BSSELECT commands. This makes it
possible to iterate through such a list
with, for instance, the DataBasic READNEXT statement without having to
specifically process the null items.
- CATALOG.COMP
Causes the CATALOG command to check only that any
entry that will be overwritten is a
DataBasic program
definition item, but not whether it references the file and item being cataloged.
If this option is not set, CATALOG will not proceed if
the MD contains any entry with the same name as the program being cataloged,
unless it is a DataBasic program definition item that specifically
references the program being cataloged; if set, it allows any DataBasic
program definition item to be overwritten. No other types of MD entry will
be overwritten.
- CURSOR.ATTRIBUTES
Controls the effect of the @ function's extended cursor addressing codes that control video
effects.
- If this option is not set, each code switches on or off the effect
concerned and switches off all the others.
- If the option is set, each code controls only a single video effect.
All the others remain unchanged.
- DATA.CC
Determines whether the user and applications executed by the user can
select data case insensitivity:
- If
this option is set and data case insensitivity is also enabled on the database (using the
DataCaseControl
database configuration parameter):
- Data case insensitivity is selected.
- Data case insensitivity can be selected and deselected using the
CASE TCL command and
the DataBasic CASING statement
- If this option is not set or data case insensitivity is not enabled
on the database, data case insensitivity is not and cannot be selected.
See
Case Sensitivity
for more details.
- DB.DEBUG
Causes any DataBasic program
initiated by the user to enter the DataBasic symbolic debugger on executing
DEBUG statements within the program. This is similar to starting the program
with the DEBUG command, but
can be used to debug programs called from PERFORM
statements and from Procs.
Programs initiated by the user are those that are
started directly or indirectly from TCL. They include those initiated by a Proc
or other program that was itself started directly or indirectly from TCL.
- DEFAULT.TO.ALL
- If set, the COPY,
CP,
CT,
ECOPY and
QSELECT TCL commands
will default to * (all items) if no item list is included. If not set, *
must be specified to select all items.
- DEL.FILE.EXEC
- Causes the DELETE-CATALOG and
DECATALOG commands to delete executable items from the local dictionary
or data section by default. If not set, executable items from the local
dictionary or data section are not deleted by default. Provided for compatibility with other
MultiValue systems.
- DOT/Stacker *
Sets the mode of operation for the
TCL Stacker Recall Command. The following modes are available:
1 REALITY – Do not emulate
another MultiValue system (default).
2 D3
3 MVBASE
4 MVENTERPRISE
- EB.DEBUG
- Causes any DataBasic program run
from External Basic to enter the DataBasic symbolic debugger on executing DEBUG
statements within the program. Programs run from External Basic include
file triggers and
dictionary subroutines.
- EMBEDDED.OPTIONS
- Allows command options to be entered in the middle of a TCL command
statement.
- ENGDIVIDE
- Causes
division operations in English A and F conversion codes to return 0 when
dividing by 0 (normally returns dividend).
- EXEC.BASIC.OBJ
Changes the types, names and locations of the items
generated by the
BASIC command. If set, an
executable (platform-specific) item with the same name as the source item is
generated in the dictionary of the file. No deliverable
(platform-independent) item is generated unless the DEL.OBJ option is also
selected (in a $OPTIONS
statement), or the BASIC command's (R option is used.
If you specify this option, you only need to catalog your program once.
When you recompile, the executable item referenced by the command definition item
is overwritten.
- EXTERNAL.KEY
If set, specifies that, for indexes that were created from dictionary
definitions that include output conversions, the
ISELECT,
ICOUNT and
SELECT-INDEX commands will apply those output conversions as input conversions to the literal
data specified as appropriate.
If not set, output conversions are not applied; literal data must be
specified in internal format (for backwards compatibility).
- FATAL.WARNINGS
- Causes all warning messages generated by DataBasic programs to be treated as
fatal errors. If a warning occurs, the program breaks to the DataBasic debugger to allow determination of error
and possible recovery. Similar to starting the program with the F option.
- INT.MD.ONLY
If set, causes the
MD
conversion code to treat numeric values containing decimal points as strings
rather than numbers. As a result, the precision
and scaling parameters have no effect on these types of values.
If not set, MD behaves like the
ML and MR codes (see
Numeric Data for
details).
- INHIB.MLMR
- Causes a null value generated by the English conversion processor to be passed to an ML or MR
conversion as a null string. If not set, a null value is passed as the
number 0. Provided for compatibility with other
MultiValue systems.
- INHIBIT!SYS
- Disables the
! command, so that TCL commands can be given names
beginning with !. The SYS command is unaffected.
- INHIBIT~
- Disables the effect of preceding a command name with a tilde (~). If not
set, command names that start with a tilde are looked up only in the MD of
the GLOBAL.MD
account; otherwise, the normal lookup sequence is used (see
TCL Input Processing).
- INSENS.CREATE.FILE
- Specifies the default item-id case-sensitivity of new accounts, files
and directory views. If set, these will be case-insensitive; otherwise they
will be case-sensitive. Can only be set if case-insensitivity is enabled
on the database; see
Item-id
Case-insensitivity.
- KEEPLIST
- Specifies that an active list
is to be kept active when a non-existent TCL command is entered.
- KEY.CC
Determines whether the user and applications executed by the user are case-insensitive
are regards keywords:
- If
this option is set and keyword case-insensitivity is also enabled on the database (using the
KeyCaseControl database configuration parameter) keyword
case-insensitivity is selected.
- If this option is not set or keyword case-insensitivity is not enabled
on the database, keyword case-insensitivity is not selected.
See
Case Sensitivity
for more details.
- LITERAL.MASK
- If set, causes a
format mask containing no fill characters to return the
mask text. If not set, the fill data is returned. Provided for
compatibility with other MultiValue systems.
- LOG.BASIC
- If set, allows DataBasic external subroutine and function calls and
returns to be included in the Audit and Support logs. See
Command Logging and the
AuditTclLog
and
SupportTclLog
database configuration parameters.
- LOGON.PROGS
- If set, allows you to use any TCL command as a
logon control program. Otherwise, a logon control program must be a
Proc.
- MCT.SQUOTE
- The MCT conversion code normally treats the
first alphanumeric character following a space, double quotation mark, left
parenthesis or hyphen as the start of a word. If you set
this environment
option, a word starts with the first alphanumeric character following any
non-alphanumeric character other than a single quote. Provided for
compatibility with other
MultiValue systems.
- MD.ICONV.ALWAYS
- If set, causes MD,
ML and MR input conversions
to parse the input value up to the first non-numeric character. Subsequent
characters are discarded. Provided for compatibility with earlier versions
of Reality.
- MFILL.FORMAT
- In a format mask, normally only the first fill character (#, * or %)
encountered is used; any subsequent occurrences of either of the other fill
characters are treated as literals. If set, this option causes all of these
characters to be treated as fill characters wherever they occur in the mask.
- MVPROCSELECT
- Specifies that
active select lists in Proc should be handled as on other
MultiValue systems.
- NOOLDHEADER
- For backwards compatibility, the ^, ] and \ characters normally have
special meanings when used in an English
HEADING or FOOTING
modifier: ^ is equivalent to the P option, ] to the L option and \ to
the T option. If this option is set, ^, ] and \ have no special meanings and
are treated as literal characters.
- OLD.CREATEFILE
- Makes the
modulo parameters mandatory in the
CREATE-FILE
command. With this option selected, you cannot create
an automatically sized data
section by simply omitting the modulo, but must specify the
A option.
- PQN.ABS.S
- If set, when the PQN Proc
S command is used to
set the buffer pointer to a parameter beyond the end of the buffer, empty
parameters are inserted to allow the pointer to be set to the specified
position. If the option is not set, the pointer is positioned at the end of
the buffer.
- PROCX
- Causes X in Proc to return
from a subroutine, rather than exit.
- RPLDIVIDE
- If set, causes the
original value to be returned by RPL if the divisor is zero; if not set,
zero is
returned.
- RPLTERM
- If set, enables terminal independence in RPL (RPQ
feature R205).
- SPASSIGN
- Causes
SP-ASSIGN to close open
print jobs only when no parameters are
specified. This provides compatibility with other MultiValue systems.
- TCLDELIMITER
Allows you to use backslashes ('\') as delimiters at TCL in addition to
single and double quotes.
Note: When this option is set, TCL command
parameters that contain backslashes must be enclosed in quotes. This applies
particularly to DIR-VIEW
and T-DEVICE paths on
Windows, but for these commands you can also use forward slashes (/) as an
alternative to backslashes.
- TRAP.EMBEDDED.PROC
If set, enables error messages that warn about using the P command to
call a Proc from within another Proc.
With this option set, an error occurs if there are other commands following
the P command. It does not occur if:
-
The P command is the last command in the
Proc.
-
The P command is followed by a RTN and the
Proc was not called from another Proc.
- UCASEDATES
- Causes the names or
abbreviations of names of months produced by output conversion to be all uppercase, rather
than just initial capitals.
- UCASEDAYS
- Causes the names of days produced
by output conversion to be all uppercase.
- UCASEMSGS
- Causes system messages to be
displayed in all uppercase letters, rather than just initial uppercase.
- WHO.FORMAT
- If set, causes the WHO
command and user exit
U50BB to behave
as appropriate for the selected
MutliValue environment (set
with the DOT/Stacker environment option).
