Stand-alone utility control statements

Utility control statements include parameters that define the function that a utility job performs. Only some stand-alone utilities require utility control statements. For the other stand-alone utilities, you specify the utility parameters in the PARM parameter of the EXEC statement.

The following table lists the stand-alone utilities that read utility control statements from an in-stream data set. Use the listed DD name for the in-stream data set.

The statements must conform to the following rules:

• The logical record length (LRECL) must be 80 characters. Columns 73 through 80 are ignored.
• The records are concatenated into a single stream before they are parsed. No concatenation character is necessary.
• The SYSIN stream can contain multiple utility control statements.
