Option Tokens

Option tokens are user-defined tokens that allow you to add capabilities that are not available with existing script tokens. For example, option tokens can be used to specify different types of locations or to select compile and link options. Option tokens are identified by the prefix OPT. followed by the specific token name.

Option tokens can be assigned specific values when creating or updating a target, model, or business system definition. The values are set using the Options screen (accessed using F13) during target, model, or business system definition.

Option tokens are not used in the default scripts provided for the z/OS environment. If you elect to use Option tokens, the tokens must be added to the appropriate script before they are usable.

Option tokens are defined by customizing a script to use them.

Note: All script tokens are surrounded by the unique delimiters specified for a particular target system.

Important! Make sure that the script will still work properly if the option token values are not found and tokens resolve to nulls.
