Rule Set Control Statements

The control statements identify the resource rule set and determine some of the rule set characteristics. The $KEY control statement is the only statement that is required. If you do not specify the TYPE value, the $TYPE control statement is required.

Each control statement must begin in column one. You can specify any number of $ or % control statements in the compiler input. If you enter the same type of $ control statement more than once, CA ACF2 for VM uses only the last statement of that type. You can specify more than one of each type of % control statement.

You can use a dash (-) as the last nonblank character on the line to continue all input to the compiler on multiple statements. A continuation is recognized unconditionally. For instance, if a %CHANGE statement is continued,
CA ACF2 for VM treats the next line as a continuation of this control statement even if that line has the format of another control statement.
