Running SYSGEN
To run the SYSGEN utility, enter the following:
:SYSGEN basegroup,newgroup,inputfile,outputfile
All of the parameters are optional.
The basegroup parameter is the group in the account SYS that contains the
configuration data you use or alter. The default is CONFIG.SYS (or the
group specified at system startup). If you specify a group that does not
exist, an error occurs. You can change the base group within SYSGEN
using the BASEGROUP command. Refer to System Startup, Configuration, and
Shutdown Reference Manual (32650-90042) for additional information.
The newgroup parameter is the group to which you will store your data.
If you do not specify this parameter, SYSGEN stores the changes to the
base group. If the group you specify already exists, SYSGEN asks you
whether you actually want the configuration data written to that group.
To override newgroup, specify an alternate group with the SYSGEN KEEP
command.
The inputfile parameter is the actual file designator of the file for
command input. The formal file designator is SYSGIN. The default is
$STDIN. Use a file equation to change the command input file.
The outputfile is the actual file designator of the file for output
requests. The formal file designator is SYSGOUT. The default is
$STDLIST. Use a file equation to redirect output.
For example, to change input to a command input file and redirect output
to the line printer, enter:
:FILE SYSGIN=NEWIN
:FILE NEWOUT;DEV=LP
:SYSGEN,MYGROUP,*NEWIN,*NEWOUT
When you run SYSGEN, you receive a list of SYSGEN first-level commands:

configures remote devices and terminals on the system. SYSGEN is
concerned with the devices actually interfaced to the system.
