    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    The following line should be added before FPXIN in Table 4, 5,
    7, 9, 10:
    
    FPXOPTS     Input     LRECL=80     Optional
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    The following description should be added before the
    description of FPXIN DD in:
    Chapter 4 Using OPC: DD statements
    Chapter 7 Using ODE: DD statements
    Chapter 10 Using OAE: DD statements
    Chapter 13 Using OER: DD statements
    Chapter 16 Using ODM: DD statements
    
    FPXOPTS DD
    Describes the input data set that contains the option control
    statements for the process. FPXOPTS usually resides in the
    input stream. However, it can also be defined as a sequential
    data set or as a member of a partitioned data set. It must
    contain 80-byte fixed-length records. Block size, if coded,
    must be a multiple of 80. It can be specified as DUMMY,
    NULLFILE, or an empty file.
    For details of the option control statements,
    see  "Option control statements" on page xx.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    The following section should be added to:
    Chapter 4 Using OPC: between JCL statements and Utility
    control statements
    Chapter 7 Using ODE: between JCL statements and Utility
    control statements
    Chapter 10 Using OAE: between JCL requirements and Utility
    control statements-Shadow expansion
    Chapter 13 Using OER: between JCL statements and Utility
    control statements
    Chapter 16 Using ODM: between JCL procedures and Utility
    control statements
    
    Option control statements
    
    This section describes the option control statements.
    Option control statements must start with a line that
    contains OPTIONS command.
    The control statement that can be specified is:
    .OVERRIDE control statement
    
    For syntax rules of FPXOPTS DD, see Appendix x,
    "FPXOPTS syntax rules," on page xxx.
    
    OVERRIDE statement
    The OVERRIDE control statement specifies information
    to set temporary overrides of product message defaults.
    This control statement is optional.
    
    The keywords that are associated with the OVERRIDE command are:
    . MSG_NUM
    . MSG_LIM
    
    >>-----OVERRIDE-----MSG_NUM=msgid----------------------------<<
                     |--MSG_LIM=num---------------------------|
    
    MSG_NUM keyword
    
    The MSG_NUM keyword is used to specify the message number to
    be suppressed.
    
    The keyword is required if OVERRIDE command is specified.
    For each OVERRIDE control statement, MSG_NUM keyword cannot
    be specified in duplicate.
    
    The format of the MSG_NUM keyword is:
    
    >>-----MSG_NUM=msgid----------------------------<<
    
    The variable field is defined as follows:
    
    msgid: A 4-digit message number.
    
    Default: None
    
    
    MSG_LIM keyword
    
    The MSG_LIM keyword is used to specify the maximum number of
    occurences of a repetitious message to be issued before
    suppression.
    
    The keyword is optional. For each OVERRIDE control statement,
    MSG_LIM keyword cannot be specified in duplicate.
    
    The format of the MSG_LIM keyword is:
    
    >>-----MSG_LIM=num----------------------------<<
    
    The variable field is defined as follows:
    
    num: A non-negative integer value less than 32,767.
    
    Default: If the MSG_LIM keyword is not specified, the
    repetitious messages are not to be suppressed.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    The following section should be added before
    Appendix E "FPXIN syntax rules":
    
    Appendix x. FPXOPTS syntax rules
    
    FPXOPTS control statements and their associated keywords can be
    coded in free format in columns 1 through 72, subject to the
    following syntax rules:
    . Control statements must start with a line that contains
    OPTIONS.
    . A keyword that is not followed by an equal sign is regarded as
    a command name.
    . Each keyword must have one value, they are connected by
    an equal sign. The equal sign must not be preceded or
    followed by blanks, but the value can be followed by one
    or more blanks.
    . A control statement record can include one command and
    multiple keywords.
    . Keywords must be delimited by at least one comma or one blank.
    The end of a line is treated as a blank. Any number of commas
    and blanks may be specified between adjacent keywords.
    . Keywords and their associated values cannot span (or be
    continued on) multiple control statement records.
    . The duplicate specification of keyword or value is not
    allowed.
    . A command and the first associated keyword are separated by at
    least one blank, any number of comment lines, or blank lines.
    . A command and a keyword can start in any column.
    . A comment must start with * in column 1.
    . The control statements can not be specified in lower case.
