/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb AUTOGEN, Phases, SETPARAMS  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The SETPARAMS phase uses as its input the SETPARAMS.DAT file
    created during the GENPARAMS phase. In this phase, AUTOGEN runs
    SYSMAN to update the system parameter values in the default
    parameter file.

    On VAX systems, the default parameter file is
    SYS$SYSTEM:VAXVMSSYS.PAR. AUTOGEN saves the current system
    parameters in the file SYS$SYSTEM:VAXVMSSYS.OLD before updating
    these parameters in SYS$SYSTEM:VAXVMSSYS.PAR. The new values are
    also saved in SYS$SYSTEM:AUTOGEN.PAR.

    On Alpha systems, SYS$SYSTEM:ALPHAVMSSYS.PAR is the default
    parameter file. AUTOGEN saves the current system parameters
    in the file SYS$SYSTEM:ALPHAVMSSYS.OLD before updating these
    parameters in SYS$SYSTEM:ALPHAVMSSYS.PAR. The new values are also
    saved in SYS$SYSTEM:AUTOGEN.PAR.

    The SETPARAMS phase is valid as a start phase and an end phase.
    SETPARAMS requires the SYSPRV and OPER privileges.
