SET

     Defines elements of the Command Interpreter. It also allows
     a job using a spooled $STDLIST to mark its standard list
     device for deletion when the job terminates.  (CM)

SYNTAX


     SET [STDLIST={DELETE}][;MSG={ON }][;ECHO={ON }]
                  {SAVE  }       {OFF}        {OFF}

                   {  300}
                   { 1200}
                   { 2400}
          [;SPEED ={ 4800}]
                   { 9600}
                   {19200}
                   {19.2K}


PARAMETERS


DELETE              Flags the job's $STDLIST for deletion at job
                    termination.

SAVE                Cancels the effect of a previous SET STDLIST=DELETE
                    command.  Default is SAVE.

ECHO                Turns terminal echoing ON or OFF.  (These function
                    were accomplished with "[ESC][]" and "[ESC][;]" in
                    MPE V/E. They are not supported in MPE/iX.)

MSG                 Specifies whether or not TELL messages are
                    displayed on the user's terminal.  MSG=OFF will
                    prevent TELL messages from appearing on the
                    terminal.  However, WARN messages will override
                    MSG=OFF and will appear on the terminal.  (This
                    parameter provides the same function as the SETMSG
                    command.)

SPEED               Specifies the terminal's data transmission rate,
                    within the upper and lower bounds outlined above.
                    The user is still responsible for manually changing
                    the terminal's speed setting.  (This parameter
                    provides the same function as the SPEED command.)

OPERATION


     SET specifies several elements of the Command Interpreter
     including the terminal echo and baud rate.

     In a job, the SET command can be placed anywhere between
     the JOB and EOJ statements.  It is most practical to place
     it at the end of a job stream since the command will not
     execute if the job fails.  $STDLIST will then print,
     allowing you to study your listing, and locate the problem.
     The effect of a SET STDLIST=DELETE can be reversed by
     entering SET STDLIST=SAVE into the job stream. Note that
     the SET command works only on jobs with a spooled $STDLIST.
     The ECHO, MSG, and SPEED parameters duplicate existing MPE
     V/E commands, but appear in the SET command to maintain
     uniformity.  ECHO=ON replaces "[ESC][]" and ECHO=OFF
     replaces "[ESC][;]", which are used in MPE V/E to turn
     echoing on or off.

     This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or
     in BREAK. Pressing [Break] has no effect on this command.


EXAMPLE(S)

     !RUN UPDATE.PUB.SYS;PARM=1;MAXDATA=16000
     !IF JCW < FATAL THEN
     !SET STDLIST=DELETE !ENDIF !EOJ
