Documenting your EXECs
Use the EXEC information line to classify EXECs by GROUP, FUNCTION, CODE, DESCRIPTION, DISPLAY, or AUTHOR. Then you can structure solutions or EXECs to automate your data center.
The EXEC information line is specified within each EXEC and has the following format:
where
Field | Description |
|---|---|
GROUP | designates the first hierarchical level in 1- to 8 alphanumeric characters |
FUNC | designates the second hierarchical level in 1- to 8 alphanumeric characters |
DESC | provides a minimal description of the EXEC's purpose in 1- to 25 alphanumeric characters |
DISP | indicates whether the EXEC should appear in a formatted member list; Y or N |
CODE | is a two-character user assigned code |
AUTHOR | overrides the ISPF author statistic in 1- to 8-alphanumeric characters |
When an EXEC has a /*DOC statement, the EXEC Management application displays the values specified in the EXEC Description display. The information line can be located anywhere in the EXEC. It can be split over any number of physical lines.
