Kindly help me.

IRAF parameters have 7 attributes:
name,type,mode,value,min|dictionary,max,prompt
The type may be
integer(i)
real(r)
string(s)
parameter set (pset)
In addition a preceeding * means it is "list structured". The value is a file name and each request for the parameter reads the next line for the value:
e.g. *r will read a real value from each line.
The mode may be
a for automatic
q for query
h for hidden
Anyway, what you are looking for is "pset" in order for a parameter whose value points to a file or task containing a set of parameters.

The reason for the pset paper is that this was feature added after the basic IRAF parameter system was in place.
