The statements described in this section replace all the statements from RMS versions before V7. For reasons of compatibility, the old statements can still be used. A description of the old statements can be found starting on "Statements of RMS before V7.0".
To use the new statements, enter the following RMS initiation parameter:
V7SYNTAX = JA / YES
The simultaneous use of old and new statements is not possible.
The metasyntax of the statements is that for ISP statements and is described on "Notational conventions".
Operation
The statements are first checked for syntax errors and written to a temporary file. Depending on what is specified for the MODE operand, either the statement is processed from the temporary file (normal case) or, in the case of MODE=TEST, the run is ended. If a syntax error is detected, the run is ended without any processing taking place.
If products, OPT packets or MOD packets are missing, deleted entries are entered in the depot during the second editing phase, i.e. no context check is carried out.
