GNP and GHNP control statement

These statements make FABHTEST issue a specified number of get-next-within-parent (GNP) or get-hold-next-within-parent (GHNP) calls.

If no segment name is specified, GNP or GHNP calls without SSA are issued. If a segment name is specified, GNP or GHNP calls with an unqualified SSA are issued.

Prerequisite: Before specifying the GNP or the GHNP statement, you must establish a valid parentage by specifying a GN, GHN, GNR, GHNR, GU, or GHU statement.
