The following rules apply to IBM® Connect:Direct® commands and options in the DGADBATC job stream.

  • The first command in the job stream must be a SIGNON command.
  • The maximum command string length is 4,096 bytes. Each new IBM Connect:Direct command in the job stream must start on a separate line. You can split a command across more than one line by using the continuation mark. However, the first word or string of the next command must start on a new line as shown in the following example.
    SIGNON USERID=(LYNN) -
       NODE=CD.BOSTON
SEL STAT WHERE (PNUM=24)
SIGNOFF
  • All IBM Connect:Direct commands must start in column 2. Any data in column 1 is considered a label.
