File-AID/Batch parameters

This section discusses the use and syntax of File-AID/Batch parameters. Brief descriptions of parameters and the various parameter types are given in Parameter Descriptions. You find the abbreviation and type of each parameter in the following table.

Valid abbreviations are also given in parentheses in the parameter and element headings. Keywords (or abbreviations) must be spelled exactly as shown in this manual. Default values that are assumed when the parameter is not coded are indicated with the syntax and the element descriptions.

Each section describes the use and syntax of a parameter. Example control statements are given for the parameters. Other examples are located in Examples.
