Parameters function
The Parameters function allows you to display and modify the settings of a variety of parameters at any time during a File-AID/Data Solutions session. These parameters are used throughout File-AID/Data Solutions.
Default values are originally set when the product is installed. You can modify the values for your own user ID without affecting the values of other users. To do this you simply overtype the parameter value with a new value. Changes are in effect until you modify the parameter again. Changes are saved from session to session.
The following figure provides access to the File-AID/Data Solutions parameter default settings that you can modify. To access the Parameter Selection Menu, select option 0 from the File-AID/Data Solutions Primary Option Menu or enter the appropriate jump command (for example, =0) from any File-AID/Data Solutions screen. For more information, see Selecting Screens.
