Format

JES2 initialization parameter statements consist of variable-length statements that conform to one of the following syntax rules, unless otherwise noted. Statements may be coded free-form in columns 1 through 71. Column 72 may be used as a continuation character, but is not required. A trailing comma indicates a continuation. The input is free-format, such that blanks between words and syntax symbols are insignificant as illustrated in the following example:

PARAMETER [/* COMMENT */]
PARAMETER=value     [/* COMMENT */]
PARAMETER=value1-value2     [/* COMMENT */]
PARAMETER=(value1,value2,...valuen)    [/* COMMENT */]
PARAMETER=(Pa,Pb,Pc,...Pn)     [/* COMMENT */]
PARAMETER= Pa,Pb,Pc,...Pn     [/* COMMENT */]
INITPARM     ,     [/* COMMENT */]

where:

Pa-Pn

= the syntax structure of one of the forms (1-4) notes immediately above.
