Description of the LMS statements

This section contains a tabular overview of the LMS statements followed by a description of all the statements in alphabetical order, organized as follows:

• statement name and function

• description of function

• representation of format

• description of operands

• required access rights

• notes

• examples

The substatements for the statement MODIFY-ELEMENT are described in alphabetical order by name following the statement ("MODIFY-ELEMENT substatements for member types R, C and L"ff) since together they constitute a logical unit.

The same is true of the make substatements, which are described following the BEGIN-MAKE statement starting on "make substatements".

The *LMS-DEFAULT keyword is no longer described in the individual statements. It generally signifies the value set with the MODIFY-LMS-DEFAULTS statement.

The following additionally applies for the member type:
The type specification *LMS-DEFAULT leads to an error if neither a global nor a libraryspecific default type is set.
