LOAD Command

(Area 5)

The LOAD command catalogs all subsequent statements in the Reporting Facility call library under the member name specified.

The format of the LOAD command is as follows:

►►─ LOAD ─ membername ─┬───────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────►◄
                       └─ comment ─┘

membername: Specifies the unique name under which subsequent data is stored.
comment: Specifies an optional comment string that is converted into a NOTE command and is automatically inserted as the first command of the member. This NOTE command and the member name is printed on all Display Index reports.

Note the following:

The Reporting Facility restricts the use of the LOAD command to Library Maintenance mode only.
The LOAD command can be one of multiple Library Maintenance commands in a single Reporting Facility run.
When the source statements that comprise the member are added to the library, they are not edited for validity by the system. Editing takes place only when you include the member in a Reporting Facility program by invoking a CALL command.
The source statements that comprise the member to be loaded can be any of the Reporting Facility standard command sets except Library Maintenance commands.
The system recognizes the end of the current member in one of three ways:
- Another Library Maintenance command is found.
- An END command is found.
- End-of-data is reached on the input stream (SYSIPT|SYSIN).
