Remarks

Caution ! Creating or changing SYSKEY.TAB impacts the entire McIDAS workstation network.
The SYSVAL CHANGE option should be used by the network administrator only.

If you use the CHANGE option and designate the first character as a letter (A-Z), the value is stored in SYSKEY.TAB as a character string; otherwise, it is assumed to be an integer value and is converted to binary format and stored in SYSKEY.TAB.

The parameters defined for local McIDAS workstation networks are stored in SYSKEY.TAB. These parameters contain alphanumeric and integer values needed by workstations in the network. Words 2000 to 2499 and 5000 to 5999 are reserved for parameters unique to your network. For a description of SYSKEY.TAB, see the file SYSKEY.DOC. This file should be updated by the network administrator only.

SYSKEY.TAB values can be placed directly into local command entries using #SYS(word) to replace a parameter or keyword value. For example, IMGLIST GOES/VIS.1 #SYS(2100) lists images from position 1 to the value stored in word 2100.
