Notes:
  • The ADATA option can be specified only at invocation through the option list, on the PARM field of JCL, as a command option, or as an installation default.
  • Selection of the Japanese language option might result in DBCS characters written records in the Associated Data file.
  • Specification of NOCOMPILE(W|E|S) might stop compilation prematurely, resulting in a loss of specific Associated Data records.
  • If you use the INEXIT option, the compilation source module is not identified in the SYSADATA (Associated Data file) information.
