SYSTEM Switch to BS2000 system mode

Privilege                 ADA, DA, administrator without domains

System commands can be entered in BS2000 system mode. MARENADM remains loaded and can be resumed again using the RESUME-PROGRAM command. The START-, LOAD-EXECUTABLE-PROGRAM (or START-/LOAD-PROGAM), and EXIT-JOB (or LOGOFF) commands, however, terminate MARENADM.

As the SDF standard statement HOLD-PROGRAM provides the same functionality, the SYSTEM statement should no longer be used in new procedures or ENTER files. In existing jobs it should gradually be replaced by the HOLD-PROGRAM statement.
