Issue/Introduction

Description:

When the environment settings of a user are connected to a Group profile, is it possible for an individual user to change these settings for the current session?

Solution:

As of r11.5 release, this can be done using the ENVSET procedure command. A procedure command is invoked from the Main Menu command line by using the PROC screen command, i.e., PROC ENVSET (subcommands).

This command allows a user to change his/her environment settings for the current session. Note that these settings only affect the current session and they remain active until they are changed by another ENVSET procedure command or the session ends.

For a list of available parameters that are used with the ENVSET command, please see the ENVSET command section from the Report Facility User Guide, Chapter 12 - Procedures.
