Navigating Analyzer Control Statements
Pop-up panels might appear when you view or specify a control statement parameter value.
Group Parameter panel
In Analyzer Control Statements, parameters are often grouped.
You can group parameters by enclosing each level of the parameter value in parentheses.
The sample CMF Analyzer JCL Builder—Group Parameter panel (see the following figure) displays the parameter’s name, its description, the control statement to which it belongs, and the group size.
The sample CMF Analyzer JCL Builder—Group Parameter panel (see the following figure) displays the following information about the parameter:
- name
- description
- control statement to which it belongs
- group size
For each parameter in the group, the panel lists the following information:
- name
- number
- format
- value (if any)
Command ===> Scroll ===> CSR
Statement: CYCLE - Names a unique time-date range
Parameter: FROMTODT - Date/time range(s) to be assigned
Group Count: 31
Key new values, or enter line command to see or set each subparameter.
Press ENTER to continue, END to complete, or CANCEL to exit.
Sel Name-# Format Value
--- ------------ ----------- ------------------------------------------
_ FROMTODT-1 <group> (30MAR12:000001,30MAR12:120000)___________
_ FROMTODT-2 <group> (2012091:120001,2012091:240000)___________
_ FROMTODT-3 <group> __________________________________________
_ FROMTODT-4 <group> __________________________________________

_ FROMTODT-6 <group> __________________________________________
_ FROMTODT-7 <group> __________________________________________
_ FROMTODT-8 <group> __________________________________________
_ FROMTODT-9 <group> __________________________________________
You can enter a parameter’s intended value on any parameter pop-up panel, whether the parameter is a group-level parameter or an elementary-level parameter. The value entered is accepted and passed to other levels of the parameter as you navigate from level to level.
Group Sub-Parameter panel
Consider the following CYCLE statement in a Control Statement Set:
DAILY, Name to be given (R)
((29MAY12:000001,29MAY12:120000),(29MAY12:120001,29MAY12:240000))
If you set the SP (Set Parameter) line command on the third line of the statement, the Group Parameter panel looks like the panel displayed in the following figure.
Command ===> Scroll ===> CSR
Statement: CYCLE - Names a unique time-date range
Parameter: FROMTODT - Date/time range(s) to be assigned
Subparameter Count: 2
Key new value, or enter S line command to see each subparameter.
Press ENTER to continue, END to complete, or CANCEL to exit.
