The KDCFOR command can be used to output a basic format. A basic format is used for entering the data for a job on the screen in format fields.
By entering KDCFOR { format-identifier1 | ’format-identifier’2 }, the format is output at the terminal with the specified format identifier. This format applies as the basic format of the user until another KDCFOR command with a different format identifier is entered.
By entering the KDCFOR command without a format-identifier, the basic format which is currently valid can be output at the terminal.
In the event of errors, openUTM outputs one of the following UTM messages:
K013 Error in command KDCFOR - input please
The KDCFOR command does not have the prescribed form.
K014 No base format defined - input please
The user has specified a KDCFOR command without a format identifier, but no basic format is known as yet.
K015 Formatting error ...... - input please
