SCCIN DD syntax rules (PTF BPJ1993 applied)


The following syntax rules apply to the SCCBSET batch program:

  • Terminate commands with a semicolon (;).
  • You can stack multiple commands in SCCIN.
  • SCCBSET ignores columns 73-80.
  • SCCBSET ignores blank lines.
  • You can specify comments in two ways:.
    • Use an asterisk (*) or double hyphen (--) starting in column 1 to mark the entire line as a comment.
    • Use a double hyphen (--), double slash (//), or slash asterisk (/*) starting in column 2 through 72 to mark the remainder of the line as a comment.
  • You can use explicit object set names or the following wildcard patterns:
    • Use the % (percent) and * (asterisk) characters as wildcards to match any number of characters in a name.
    • Use the ? (question mark) character as a wildcard to match a single character in a name.


 

Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
