Replace rules

The replace rules are applicable to the physical parent, logical parent, and logical child segments of a logical path.

The following is a description of how the replace rules work:
  • When RULES=P is specified, the segment can only be replaced when retrieved using a physical path. If this rule is violated, no data is replaced and an RX status code is returned.
  • When RULE=L is specified, the segment can only be replaced when retrieved using a physical path. If this rule is violated, no data is replaced. However, no RX status code is returned, and a blank status code is returned.
  • When RULES=V is specified, the segment can be replaced when retrieved by either a physical or logical path.
