Using and Modifying Copied Code › Assigning Values to Symbolic Fields (USE Parameter) › What You Can Do

What You Can Do

You can use symbolic fields on the parameters in your stored or inline CA Culprit code for values that are likely to change.

How to Do It

Code:

1. Source code that incorporates symbolic parameter references:

   010 START &.&1.
   

2. A standard USE parameter that names the source code to be copied:

    USE CULCODE
   /*
   

3. The WITH VALUES keyword phrase:

    USE CULCODE
    WITH VALUES ...
   /*
   

4. Keyword arguments (data values) or keyword expressions (labels), as needed, on the same line as WITH VALUES. The argument sequence must correspond to the parameter sequence:

    USE CULCODE
    WITH VALUES (mmddyy,MONTHLY REPORT)
   /*
   

   Note: The value would show the actual date in the format shown.
