PARAM

Purpose

Controls the printing of the Sequential Parameter Listing and Input Parameter Listing

Syntax

      ▼
►►─── PARAM = ──┬─ LIST ───┬──────────────────────────────────────────────►◄
                ├- NOLIST -┤
                └─ EJECT ──┘

Parameters

LIST: Specifies that parameters following this statement are output in the Sequential Parameter Listing and in the Input Parameter Listing. LIST is the default.
NOLIST: Specifies that parameters following this statement are not output in either the Sequential Parameter Listing or the Input Parameter Listing, unless a parameter contains an error. If an error occurs on a parameter that follows the PARAM=NOLIST keyword expression, the parameter in error appears in the Sequential Parameter Listing and in the Input Parameter Listing with the associated error message.
EJECT: Specifies that parameters following this statement are printed in the Sequential Parameter Listing after skipping to a new page. This option does not effect the pagination of the Input Parameter Listing.

Usage

The PARAM= keyword expression can be inserted anywhere in the input parameter stream; it can be coded in any column from 2 through 72.

PARAM= statements are printed in place within the Sequential Parameter Listing; if the keyword expression specifies NOLIST, no parameters are printed after the PARAM= statement. PARAM= statements do not appear in the Input Parameter Listing.

Example

The first figure (out of the following figures) shows an example of PARAM= keyword expressions coded among input parameters. The next figure shows the Sequential Parameter Listing that results. The Input Parameter Listing appears in the final example.
