Sample skeleton file

Figure 1 shows a sample skeleton file. The sample skeleton refers to several dialog variables (for example, ASMPARMS, ASMIN, and MEMBER). It also illustrates use of the select statements )SEL and )ENDSEL to conditionally include records. The first part of the example has nested selects to include concatenated macro libraries if the library names have been specified by the user, that is, if variables ASMMAC1 and ASMMAC2 are not equal to the null variable Z.

In the second part of the example, )IF … )ELSE statements are used to conditionally run a load-and-go step. An imbed statement, )IM, is used to bring in a separate skeleton for the load-and-go step.
