Syntax rules for DSN subcommands

For general information about the syntax of TSO/E commands and subcommands, see TSO/E commands and subcommands.

To continue a subcommand on the next line in the DSN processor, type either a hyphen (-) or a plus sign (+) at the end of the current line. If you use a plus sign, precede it by at least one blank character to prevent the concatenation of character strings from line to line. Using a plus sign causes TSO/E to delete leading delimiters (blanks, commas, tabs, and comments) on the continuation line, and reduces the overall size of the command.
