setdsoparam

Purpose
Set the value of a control parameter.

Further information
1. This procedure is similar to setparam except that the control parameter name is searched at runtime. As a consequence this identifier does not need to be a constant string but the execution is significantly slower than setparam and it cannot be applied to package parameters.
2. The provided parameter name must include the module name ( e.g. "mmsystem.datefmt") otherwise the identifier is searched only in the list of Mosel parameters.
3. As opposed to setparam this procedure does not raise an error in case of failure (like parameter not found or invalid value): use getsysstat to detect error conditions.
