Coding Rules

You must follow these rules when entering operands:
  • Separate a keyword and its associated values from a following keyword operand by one or more blanks, or by a comma.
    ⋮
    PRINT=PS,TYPE=MC,HIST,ACC=N
    ENDPARM
    ⋮
  • You can put each parameter or control statement on a separate line. The sample input operand files in Step 1: Creating a History File through Step 10: Updating the History Tape use this method.
  • You may enter operands in any sequence.
  • When the allowed values of an operand where are Y and N,
    ⋮
    HIST=Y,ACC=N
    ⋮
    you may omit =Y and code only the keyword.
    ⋮
    HIST,ACC=N
    ⋮
    CPEREPXA always interprets this form of the operand as specifying YES,
    regardless of the default value.
