7.1 Specification format of environment files

This section explains the specification formats of parameters that are specified in the environment files.

There are three types of parameters:

Parameter type	Definition contents
Environment setting parameters	Define items such as return codes, coverage, system execution logs, and directory paths.
`export` parameter	Defines environment variables.
Conditional parameters	Specify environment setting parameters that are effective only at physical hosts or specific logical hosts or the `export` parameter.

The maximum length of one line in an environment file is 4,092 bytes including comments and separators. If a line exceeds 4,092 bytes, a parsing error will occur. You must not specify the ampersand (&) in an environment file, including within a comment.

The following notes apply to the parameters that are specified in the environment files:

If a line contains NULL (0x00, or \0 in C language), the job controller treats everything on the line from the beginning of the line up to that NULL character as the line, and ignores all characters following that NULL character. To prevent invalid execution results and run-time errors, do not specify NULL.
Make sure that the encoding used for environment files is consistent with the value of the LANG environment variable in the environment in which job definition scripts are to be run.
Text to the right of a hash mark (#) not followed by -adsh_conf₁ is treated as a comment.
