You can direct EREP processing and tailor EREP reports with the following keyword parameters: report, selection, and processing parameters.
Because none of the parameters are required, you can allow EREP to operate entirely by default. However, you must check the default options in Table 1 to be sure they are the ones you want.
See Product-Dependent Information for more information on using the EREP parameters with specific devices.
Refer to the following topics in the EREP User's Guide for more information on using EREP parameters with each operating system.
The following general coding rules apply to all the EREP parameters. The parameter string must be limited to 100 characters. EREP will reject any parameter strings over 100 characters.
| Rules | Examples |
|---|---|
| Parameters consist of a keyword followed by an equal sign and one or more values. Some parameters require parentheses around the value field. | |
| When the allowed value of a parameter is Y or N, you may omit =Y and code only the keyword. EREP always interprets this as specifying YES regardless of the default value. | |
| Use commas to separate the parameters if they are on the same line. There can be no spaces in a parameter expression or parameter field. However, when entering parameters as CPEREPXA operands, you can separate them by commas or by one or more blanks. | |
| If parameters and control statements are in the same file, you must code ENDPARM to indicate the end of parameters before coding any control statements. | |
| If you code the parameters as in-stream data, they can be entered as individual records. | |
