Unique CPEREPXA Operands

In addition to the regular EREP parameters and control statements, you need two other operands for running EREP via CPEREPXA. These are the CLEAR operand and the TERMINAL operand, both of which act as processing controls.

CLEAR operand

Clears (zeros) and reinitializes the error recording area (ERDS).

The syntax is CLEAR.

CLEAR

Important: You must have the proper user privilege class to erase and reinitialize the error recording area. In most VM SP installations, this is privilege class F.

TERMINAL operand

Instructs CPEREPXA to stop reading EREP parameters and control statements from a separate file and to prompt the user for them instead. You use this CPEREPXA operand to change your EREP controls dynamically. Having set up an input file containing CPEREPXA operands, you have the choice of using those operands or overriding them with others entered from the terminal.

The syntax is TERMINAL[=Y] | =N.

TERMINAL
