Restrictions on procedure parameters as operands

The following examples illustrate the difficulties that arise when ISP commands containing procedure parameters as operands are to be converted to SDF format.

1. The SDF command is determined by the ISP operand value

   /CATJV ... ,STATE=UPDATE /CATJV ... ,STATE=NEW /CATJV ... ,STATE=&OP1

   -> -> ->

   /MODIFY-JV-ATTRIBUTES ... /CREATE-JV ... / ?

2. The SDF operand value is determined by the ISP operand value

   /EXECUTE ... ,SYMTEST=NO /EXECUTE ... ,SYMTEST=ALL /EXECUTE ... ,SYMTEST=&OP2 /GETJV <name> /GETJV *<name> /GETJV &OP3

   -> -> -> -> -> ->

   /START-PROGRAM ... ,TEST-OPTIONS=NONE /START-PROGRAM ... ,TEST-OPTIONS=AID /START-PROGRAM ... ,TEST-OPTIONS= ? /SHOW-JV JV-ID=JV-NAME(JV-NAME=<name>) /SHOW-JV JV-ID=JV-LINK(JV-LINK=<name>) /SHOW-JV JV-ID= ?

Note

Command records containing procedure parameters, or in which job variables are to be replaced, can be excluded from conversion by specifying the operand PARAMETER-LINES = *COPY-ONLY in the CONVERT statement. Instead of converting the command records concerned, SDF-CONV writes them unchanged to the output procedure. No messages are issued in such cases.

The following tables provide an overview of the commands that are not converted if the listed positional and/or keyword operands are specified as procedure parameters.

<i> OPERAND=

means that the i-th positional operand must not be a parameter. means that the positional operand value must not be a parameter.
