MODPARAMS.DAT is *ONLY*y an input file used by @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN.COM.  This
procedure will, depending upon the parameters you supply it, modify the SYSGEN
parameter file SYS$SYSTEM:*VMSSYS.PAR.  This file is read during the primordial 
stages of the system botstrap to set myriad system parameters.  

You can see your currently established parameters using SYSGEN:

$ MCR SYSGEN SHOW/ALL

To see existing/remaining/free/etc. values, most are available using the DCL
lexical F$getsyi() which John has demonstrated.  For more information, see:
$ HELP LEXICALS F$getsyi arguments
