Reporting Facility Commands › END Command

END Command

(Areas 4A,4B,5)

The END command terminates the Reporting Facility program. This signals completion of the final Reporting Facility command. That is, it is the end of the compilation phase or Library Maintenance command sequence. Only one such END command can appear in any Reporting Facility execution.

The format of the END command is as follows:

►►─ END ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────►◄

Note the following:

• If an END command is not found, the Reporting Facility generates one automatically.
• When an input file is being processed, the END command is required. The system places the command between the last Reporting Facility command and the first data file. This is because both Reporting Facility commands and input files are read from the same physical data set, that is, SYSIN or SYSIPT.
