CONVERT-SYNTAX-FILE Convert syntax file to new format

Privileges:                  STD-PROCESSING, TSOS

The CONVERT-SYNTAX-FILE statement converts any syntax file (group, system, user) with an old format (format V1) into the new format (format V4.1).

CONVERT-SYNTAX-FILE

INPUT-FILE = <filename 1..54>

,OUTPUT-FILE = <filename 1..54>

INPUT-FILE = <filename 1..54>
Defines the old-format syntax file to be converted.

OUTPUT-FILE = <filename 1..54>
Defines the name of the new-format output syntax file.

Notes

• Conversion from the old to the new format is irreversible. It is therefore advisable to save the old syntax file so that it can be accessed in case a problem occurs. You should also have a procedure with SDF-A statements to be used to regenerate the syntax file if required.

• Syntax files converted using SDF-I V4.1A must not be processed with SDF-I versions < 4.1.
