Keyword parameters are specific words or symbols that have a meaning
to DFSMShsm. They follow positional parameters and can occur in any
order.
Italic type specifies values or variables
that you supply to DFSMShsm. You can specify values or variables with
some keyword parameters by putting them in parentheses after the keyword
parameter. An example of a keyword with a value follows:
VOLUME(volser)
Some keyword parameters are separated by
a vertical bar, for example, TERMINAL | SYSOUT | OUTDATASET. This
bar shows keywords that conflict with one another. You can consider
the bar to be a logic
OR. The above statement
would read, TERMINAL
OR SYSOUT
OR OUTDATASET.
Do not use the vertical bar when you submit the command.
Note: - If you enter conflicting parameters in a single command, the last
parameter entered in the command overrides all previously entered
conflicting parameters and is the only parameter of those in conflict
that is processed. All the previous conflicting parameters within
the command are ignored.
- If you enter the same parameter more than once in a single command,
only the last of the repeated parameters entered in the command is
processed.
- As long as valid parameters are specified on a command, extraneous
parameters are ignored.
- Unless you are specifically restricted in a parameter explanation,
you can code numeric parameters in three different ways:
- Decimal (EBCDIC)
- Hexadecimal (X'n')
- Binary (B'n')
If you issue commands from the system console, you must enter the
DFSMShsm commands in the following manner:
F DFSMSHSM,command
You should replace the DFSMSHSM abbreviation
with the procedure name in the startup procedure in SYS1.PROCLIB.
