    file, depending on the destination that you specify.

    Format

      PARAMETERS WRITE  destination

1  –  Parameter

 destination

    The destination of a new parameter file can be any of the
    following ones:

    ACTIVE   Write parameters to memory. Using the ACTIVE parameter
             requires CMKRNL privilege.
    CURRENT  Write parameters to the system parameters file, which
             contains the current parameters on disk. Using the
             current parameter requires write (W)  access to the
             system parameters file.

             o  On Alpha systems, the file that contains current
                parameters is SYS$SYSTEM:ALPHAVMSSYS.PAR.

             o  On Integrity servers, the file that contains current
                parameters is SYS$SYSTEM:IA64VMSSYS.PAR.

    filespec Write parameters to a file. The default file type is
             .PAR and you need write access to the file.

2  –  Description

    The PARAMETERS WRITE command writes the system parameter values
    and the name of the site-independent startup command procedure
    from the work area to the active system in memory, the current
    system parameter file on disk, or your choice of a parameter
    file. You can write only dynamic parameter values to the active
    system.

    Both the PARAMETERS WRITE ACTIVE and PARAMETERS WRITE CURRENT
    commands send a message to OPCOM to record the event.
