Using the ACF Command (DIAGLIM Setting) › Creating a Rule Set

Creating a Rule Set

You can create diagnose limiting rule sets directly from the terminal or by building the rule set in a CMS file. The general procedure is:

• Build the diagnose limiting rule set text in a file (explained later).
• Issue the ACF command from CMS.
• Enter SET DIAGLIM to establish the DIAGLIM setting.
• To compile from a CMS file, issue the COMPILE subcommand with the name of the file that contains the rule set text.

  To compile directly from the terminal, issue the COMPILE subcommand without a filename. You can enter the control statements and rule entries one at a time at the terminal when you issue the COMPILE subcommand.

• To test the rule set, enter the TEST subcommand. This gives you an idea of whether the rule set does the intended validation for execution of diagnose instructions.
• If you compile the rule set from a CMS file, the COMPILE subcommand automatically stores the rule set on the Infostorage database. If you compile the rule set directly from the terminal, you must issue the STORE subcommand.
• After you store a diagnose limiting rule set, it is effective on the database and in the running system if the particular diagnose code is being modified.
