Starting the Syntax Checker

You can start the IMS Syntax Checker using an EXEC command or from the IMS Application Menu.

Start the Syntax Checker by issuing the following command in ISPF option 6:

EXEC 'HLQ.SDFSEXEC(DFSSCSRT)' 'hlq(HLQ)'

You can also start the Syntax Checker from the IMS Application Menu. The IMS Application Menu provides a common interface to IBM-supplied IMS applications that run on TSO and ISPF. The Syntax Checker remains running until you exit it manually.
