RUN PROGRAM Statement

The RUN PROGRAM statement enables you to specify the program to be executed, such as ADSBATCH or ADSOBPLG, and to specify any parameters that would, without IDMSFILE, be included in an EXEC statement for the desired program. RUN PROGRAM is the last IDMSFILE control statement you code, and is followed by control statements you code as input to the program specified in the RUN PROGRAM statement.

Syntax for the RUN PROGRAM statement is shown below:

►►─── RUN ──┬───────────────────────────────┬── program-name ────────────────►
            └─ PROgram ─┬────────┬─┬──────┬─┘
                        └─ NAMe ─┘ ├─ IS ─┤
                                   └─ = ──┘

 ►────┬───────────────────────────────────────┬── . ─────────────────────────►◄
      └─┬───────────────────┬─── parm-list ───┘
        └─┬─ USIng ─────────┤
          └─ PARm ─┬──────┬─┘
                   ├─ IS ─┤
                   └─ = ──┘

RUN PROGRAM program-name

Specifies the program to be executed, such as ADSBATCH or ADSOBPLG.

USING parm-list

Specifies a parameter list that would, without IDMSFILE, be included in an EXEC statement for program-name. Parm-list must be enclosed in quotation marks if the list contains any delimiters, such as blanks, commas, semicolons, or periods.
