The ACCEPT CHARACTERISTICS statement enables you to specify a file in which IDMSFILE control statements are stored. IDMSFILE processes the control statements in the specified file as regular input, then continues to process any explicitly coded control statements that follow the ACCEPT CHARACTERISTICS statement. Embedded ACCEPT CHARACTERISTICS statements are allowed.
Note that the object file can contain only IDMSFILE control statements. Control statements for the program to be executed, such as ADSBATCH, must be coded explicitly following the last IDMSFILE control statement. The object file can, however, contain a RUN PROGRAM statement.
Syntax for the ACCEPT CHARACTERISTICS statement follows:
►►── ACCept ──┬───────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────► └─ CHAracteristics ─┘ ►───┬────────┬─┬──────────────────────┬── filename ──── . ──────────────────►◄ └─ FROm ─┘ └─┬────────┬─┬──────┬──┘ └─ NAMe ─┘ ├─ IS ─┤ └─ = ──┘
The name of the file that contains IDMSFILE control statements. Filename must be described by a DEFINE CHARACTERISTICS statement coded earlier.
ACCEPT CHARACTERISTICS uses default file characteristics for filename, as follows:
To override any of these characteristics, specify OVERRIDE in the DEFINE CHARACTERISTICS statement that describes filename.
