Invoking AMATERSE from a problem program
To invoke AMATERSE from a program, specify the following information:
- PACK, SPACK, or UNPACK on the PARM parameter of the EXEC statement
- The DDNAMES of the data sets to be processed by the AMATERSE program, if the calling program is to override the DDNAMES.
Figure 1 shows
how to invoke AMATERSE using alternate DDNAMES:
For a description of the parameter list, see the topic on Invoking Utility Programs from an Application Program in z/OS DFSMSdfp Utilities. From that information, AMATERSE supports the optionsaddr and ddnameaddr, but not hdingaddr. AMATERSE also supports DDNAMES SYSPRINT, SYSUT1, SYSUT2, and SYSUT3, but not DDNAMES SYSIN and SYSUT4, which are shown in the "ddname parameter list (DDNMELST)" in that information.
