UPDLST Parameter

If errors occur when processing one or more items in a list, you may want to re-process just the items for which errors occurred, or continue processing just those items for which errors did not occur. The UPDLST parameter provides a convenient way of achieving this: the parameter can be used to delete from the list the items that have been processed successfully. Alternatively it can be used to delete from the list the items for which errors occurred. The UPDLST parameter may have one the following values:

• NONE: Do not change list items for which errors occurred.
• FLAGERR: Flag only those list items for which errors occurred.
• FLAGOK: Flag only those list items for which no errors occurred.
• RMVERR: Remove list items for which errors occurred.
• RMVOK: Remove list items for which no errors occurred.

The flag value used if UPDLST (FLAGERR) or UPDLST (FLAGOK) is specified is determined by the OUTFLAGVAL parameter.

The following table shows the effect of the UPDLST values on the entries in a list:

With commands that support both input and output lists, the action specified by the UPDLST parameter is always applied to the output list.
