<h2>Qp0zPutSysEnv()--Change or Add a System-Level Environment Variable</h2>
<div class="box" style="width: 60%;">
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Syntax
<pre>
#include &lt;qp0z1170.h&gt;
int Qp0zPutSysEnv(const char <em>*string</em>, int <em>ccsid</em>,
void <em>*reserved</em>);
</pre>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Service Program Name: QP0ZSYSE<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Default Public Authority: *USE<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Threadsafe: Yes<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
</div>
<p><strong>Qp0zPutSysEnv()</strong> function sets the value of a system-level
environment variable by altering an existing variable or creating a new
variable. In addition, it specifies a CCSID (coded character set identifier) to
be associated with the environment variable.</p>
<p>The <em>string</em> parameter points to a string of the form <samp>
name=value</samp>, where <samp>name</samp> is the environment variable and
<samp>value</samp> is the new value for it.</p>
<p>The <samp>name</samp> cannot contain a blank. For example,</p>
<pre>
PATH NAME=/my_lib/joe_user
</pre>
<p>is not valid because of the blank between <samp>PATH</samp> and <samp>
NAME</samp>. The name can contain an equal (=) symbol, but the system
interprets all characters following the first equal symbol as being the value
of the environment variable. For example,</p>
<pre>
PATH=NAME=/my_lib/joe_user
</pre>
<p>will result in a value of 'NAME=/my_lib/joe_user' for the variable PATH.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong><em>string</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) A pointer to the <samp>name=value</samp> string.<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong><em>ccsid</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) A CCSID to be associated with this environment variable. If 0 is
specified, the default CCSID for the job is used.<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong><em>reserved</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) Reserved for future use. Currently, the only allowed value is
NULL.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Authorities</h3>
<p>*JOBCTL special authority is required to add or change a system-level
environment variable.</p>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<table cellpadding="5">
<!-- cols="10 90" -->
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>0</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top"><strong>Qp0zPutSysEnv()</strong> was
successful.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>errval</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top"><strong>Qp0zPutSysEnv()</strong> was not
successful. <em>errval</em> is set to indicate the error.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
<br>
<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
<p>If <strong>Qp0zPutSysEnv()</strong> is not successful, <em>errval</em>
indicates one of the following errors.</p>
<dl compact>
<dt><em>[EFAULT]</em></dt>
<dd>
<p>The address used for an argument is not correct.</p>
<p>In attempting to use an argument in a call, the system detected an address
that is not valid.</p>
<p>While attempting to access a parameter passed to this function, the system
detected an address that is not valid.</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>[EINVAL]</em></dt>
<dd>
<p>The value specified for the argument is not correct.</p>
<p>A function was passed incorrect argument values, or an operation was
attempted on an object and the operation specified is not supported for that
type of object.</p>
<p>An argument value is not valid, out of range, or NULL.</p>
<p>For example, the <em>string</em> parameter was not in the correct format or
the value for the <em>reserved</em> parameter was not NULL.</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>[ENOMEM]</em></dt>
<dd>
<p>Storage allocation request failed.</p>
<p>A function needed to allocate storage, but no storage is available.</p>
<p>There is not enough memory to perform the requested function. (There is a
limit of 4095 system-level environment variables.)</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>[EOPNOTSUPP]</em></dt>
<dd>
<p>Operation not supported.</p>
<p>The operation, though supported in general, is not supported for the
requested object or the requested arguments.</p>
<p>This error is returned if the environment variable that is being added is
QIBM_CHILD_JOB_SNDINQMSG. See <strong>spawn()</strong> in or <strong>
spawnp()</strong> in for details on QIBM_CHILD_JOB_SNDINQMSG.</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>[EPERM]</em></dt>
<dd>
<p>Operation not permitted.</p>
<p>You must have appropriate privileges or be the owner of the object or other
resource to do the requested operation.</p>
<p>You must have *JOBCTL special authority to add or change system-level
environment variables.</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>[EUNKNOWN]</em></dt>
<dd>
<p>Unknown system state.</p>
<p>The operation failed because of an unknown system state. See any messages in
the job log and correct any errors that are indicated, then retry the
operation.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Usage Notes</h3>
<ol>
<li>No translation is done based on the CCSID. The CCSID is just stored and
retrieved as an integer value associated with each environment variable.</li>
</ol>
