Specifications
Specifying JES2 initialization statements and commands involves
using numeric values, alphabetic values, upper or lower case characters
and blanks.
- You must code as written upper-case operands as they appear in the syntax diagrams. Also, punctuation such as commas, parentheses, and single quotation marks are not metasymbols; if present in the syntax diagrams they must be coded. Parameters shown in lower case are not to be coded as written; they denote variables that are explained in the description of the particular parameter for the initialization statement or command.
- You must code numbers and upper-case letters exactly as shown.
- You must substitute specific information or specific values for lower-case letters, which represent variables.
Blanks are used to separate the statement object from the operands. Blanks are not allowed within the statement object.
- Table 1 defines the character specifications as they appear in the syntax diagrams.
