Starting SDF-A

&pagelevel(3)&pagelevel

SDF-A is started by means of the following command:

START-SDF-A                                                                                               Abbreviation: SDF-A

VERSION = *STD / <product-version>

,MONJV = *NONE / <filename 1..54 without-gen-vers>

,CPU-LIMIT = *JOB-REST / <integer 1..32767 seconds>

VERSION =
Allows the user to select the desired SDF-A version if multiple versions of SDF-A were installed with IMON. If the version is specified within single quotes, it may be preceded by the letter C (C-STRING syntax).
If the product was not installed using IMON or if the specified version does not exist, VERSION=*STD applies.

VERSION = *STD
Calls the SDF-A version with the highest version number.

VERSION = <product-version>
Specifies the SDF-A version in the format mm.n[a[so]] (see also “product-version” (SDF syntax description)).

MONJV =
Specifies a monitoring job variable to monitor the SDF-A run.

MONJV = *NONE
No monitoring job variable is used.

MONJV = <filename 1..54 without-gen-vers>
Name of the job variable to be used.

CPU-LIMIT =
Maximum CPU time in seconds which the program may consume for execution.

CPU-LIMIT = *JOB-REST
The remaining CPU time available is to be used for the job.

CPU-LIMIT = <integer 1..32767 seconds>
Only as much time as is specified is to be used.

Interrupting and resuming SDF-A

during processing of a statement, it can be resumed in one of two ways:

  • if SDF-A is resumed with RESUME-PROGRAM, processing resumes with the statement which was interrupted;

  • if SDF-A is resumed with INFORM=PROGRAM (up to BS2000/OSD-BC V2.0: SEND-MSG TO=*PROGRAM), the statement which was interrupted is aborted and SDF-A waits for input of the next statement.
