Hints for using PLISTVER

There are some general considerations that you should keep in mind when specifying the version of a macro with PLISTVER:
  • If PLISTVER is omitted, the macro generates a parameter list of the lowest version that allows all the parameters specified to be processed.
  • If you code PLISTVER=n and then specify any version ‘n+1’ parameter, the macro will not assemble.
  • If you code PLISTVER=n and do not specify any version ‘n’ parameter, the macro will generate a version ‘n’ parameter list.
  • If you are using the standard form of the macro (MF=S), there is no reason you need to code the PLISTVER parameter.
  • Not all macros have the same version numbers. The version numbers need not be contiguous.

The PLISTVER parameter appears in the syntax diagram and in the parameter descriptions. Within each macro description, the PLISTVER parameter description specifies the range of values and lists the parameters applicable for each version of the macro.
