Rules for global option statements


The following rules apply to global option statements:

  • The option statements consists of a keyword, an equal sign (=), and a value.
  • An asterisk in column 1 denotes a comment and is ignored, as is any text following the asterisk.
  • Keywords and values are not case sensitive.
  • Blank spaces in the option statements are ignored.
  • Text following a value is ignored.
  • Blank lines in the Z$MVE member are ignored.
  • If duplicate statements exist in the Z$MVE member, the last statement encountered is used.
  • If a value is surrounded by quotation marks (single or double), the value is case-sensitive and blank spaces are recognized, such as the following statement:

    TITLE=' ABC Company'


 

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