Examples of the SUBSYS parameter

Example 1

//DD1  DD  DSNAME=ANYDS,DISP=OLD,SUBSYS=ABC

The DD statement asks subsystem ABC to process data set ANYDS.

Example 2

//DD1 DD  DSNAME=ANYDS,DISP=OLD,SUBSYS=(XYZ2,
//        'KEYWORD=DATA VALUE1')

The DD statement asks subsystem XYZ2 to process data set ANYDS. The system passes the subparameter KEYWORD=DATA VALUE1 to the subsystem. The parameter is enclosed in apostrophes because it contains an equal sign and a blank, which are special characters.

Example 3

//DD1 DD DSNAME=ANYDS,DISP=OLD,SUBSYS=(XYZ2,IKJ2,
//       'NAME=''MODULE1''','DATE=4/11/86')

The DD statement asks subsystem XYZ2 to process the data set ANYDS. The system passes three subparameters to the subsystem: IKJ2, NAME='MODULE1' and DATE=4/11/86. Note that the character string MODULE1 is passed to the subsystem enclosed in apostrophes.

Example 4

//DD1 DD SUBSYS=(AOP1,'MyPrinter')

The DD statement asks the Infoprint Server subsystem named AOP1 to process a sysout data set. The system passes the subparameter MyPrinter to the Infoprint Server subsystem. The subparameter is enclosed in apostrophes because it contains lowercase letters.
