General coding conventions for IMFEXEC commands

IMFEXEC statements provide automation services not available in a REXX EXEC or with a TSO command procedure.

The command syntax is the keyword IMFEXEC, followed by the command and any necessary parameters; for example:

"IMFEXEC command [parameters]"

CLIST example:

IMFEXEC command [parameters]

Valid delimiters for the command are blank characters. IMFEXEC keywords must be coded in uppercase.

Each IMFEXEC command statement description includes a table describing the parameters for the command. The table uses the format:

Parameter

Function

Notes




 The Parameter column shows:

  • A short parameter identifier
  • If the parameter has uppercase letters, this identifier must be coded exactly as shown.
  • If parts of the identifier are shown in bold, this parameter can be abbreviated, using the bold letters.
  • Positional parameters are not associated with a specific identifier. In these cases, this column contains an alias that describes the parameter.

The Function column describes what the actions parameter can perform.

The Notes column contains additional usage information and limitations (if any) about the parameter. Typically, the Notes include any length, value, range, or string limitations.
