Using the ACF Command (DIAGLIM Setting) › DECOMPILE Subcommand

DECOMPILE Subcommand

Under the DIAGLIM setting, the DECOMP subcommand decompiles a diagnose limiting rule set. Use it to examine, update, test, or change a diagnose limiting rule set. You can decompile a diagnose limiting rule set at the terminal or into a CMS file to keep for later reference.

Syntax of the DECOMP and LIST Subcommands

Under the DIAGLIM setting, the LIST subcommand is a synonym for DECOMP and performs a similar function.

DEComp    { *             }
          { ruleid        }  [INTO(filename]
    List  { LIKE(rulemask)}

*

Decompiles the diagnose limiting rule set as previously compiled and stored.

ruleid

Specifies the $KEY value of the diagnose limiting rule set to decompile. It is always in the form DIAGnnnn, where nnnn is the four-character code of the diagnose instruction.

LIKE(rulemask)

Specifies a mask of rule IDs for decompiling a group of diagnose limiting rule sets. The CMS file containing rules created by the DECOMP LIKE(-) function no longer have a record length greater than 80 characters. Any rule text exceeding 80 characters is changed into continuation lines. This makes editing and printing the file easier. However, the compiler continues to accept input files that exist from previous releases that have record lengths up to 256 characters.

INTO(filename)

Specifies the CMS file where the diagnose rule set is decompiled. You do not need to specify the file type, since a file type of RULE is always assumed.

DECOMP DIAG0006 INTO(DIAG0006)
 
ACFpgm762I DIAG0006 STORED BY VMSA ON 01/13/07
ACFpgm551I TOTAL RECORD LENGTH=128 BYTES - 25 PERCENT UTILIZE

This example subcommand decompiles the DIAG0006 rule set into a file named DIAG0006 RULE.
