Description
The svaputdata command is used in the job launch scripts.
This command uses a C style of calling standard, which you should bear in mind if you intend calling it from
your application.
This command has semantics that depend on the user ID. If the user is root, then only the Site Configuration
File is used. If the user is not root, then only the Job Settings File is used. Refer to the SVA System Administration
Guide and the SVA User's Guide for more information on these files.
The svaputdata command sets the section and tag values in the data file. If the section and tag already
exist in the Job Settings File, the old value is replaced with the new value. If the tag does not exist in the
section, the tag is added to the end of the section. If the section does not exist, it is created at the end of the
file.
