DYNCAT Control Statement Syntax
The following rules apply to DYNCAT statement syntax:
• Control statements are free-form. Commands and operands may appear
anywhere within positions 1 and 71.
• You can continue a control statement by placing a nonblank character in
position 72 and continue the information on the next statement between
positions 1 and 71. Up to 10 continuations can be supplied.
• A blank must separate any complete operand and the continuation mark in
column 72.
• If an operand enclosed in single quotation marks or parentheses must be
continued, the operand must go up to and include position 71 of the
control statement, and continue in position 1 of the next statement.
• Comment statements must contain an asterisk (*) in position 1. Do not
insert any comment statements between continued control statements.
• You may abbreviate certain DYNCAT commands and operands by
truncating their codes. They are shown as mixed case characters in the
manual to help you identify them. The uppercase letters are the minimum
abbreviation you may use to specify the command or operand; lower case
letters are optional.
• For example, for the DEFINE command, DEFine shows that the minimum
specification allowed is DEF, but DEFI, DEFIN, and DEFINE are also
permitted.
• Command field must be the first field in a control statement and cannot be
continued. It describes the type of statement.
