Edit Command Rules

The following general rules apply to the SCL created by the edit commands:

• The ENDEFINE command assumes you are creating an environment definition.
• The ENDEFINE command generates the TO STAGE NUMBER clause.
• SCL actions that contain optional clauses with default values are generated using the default value. For example, the DEFINE SYSTEM action includes the optional clause COMMENTS NOT REQUIRED.
• SCL actions that contain required clauses are generated with a place holder in which you can enter the appropriate information. The place holder is a string of question marks ('?'). For example, the ENBUILD command generates the following TO DSNAME clause: TO DSNAME ????????? .
• There is one SCL clause on each data record. If necessary, an SCL clause can span multiple lines.
