END

Use the (optional) END command to terminate BASE, INDEX, and LISTDEFAULTS command sets. The END command by itself does not provide any functional processing related to building alternate indexes or listing defaults.

Usage

Advanced VSAM Manager allows you to enter multiple BASE commands in one job step. In addition, you can run the LISTDEFAULTS command and the BASE command in the same job step. In this case, the END command acts as a terminator for the command sets.

Example

The example illustrates the use of the END command to terminate a LISTDEFAULTS command before initiating a build sequence with BASE. In this example, the first END command is required, while the second could be omitted. However, if more BASE commands were to be added below the first BASE/INDEX sequence, then the second END command would also be necessary.
