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

What You Can Do

You can assign default values to symbolic parameters in your stored or inline code and use keywords to provide documentation.

How to Do It

Code:

• The word DEFAULT on the first line of stored code.

  If used inline, the DEFAULT clause is entered as the last of the USE parameter clauses.

• Symbolic parameter names entered sequentially, starting with &.&1.
• A keyword for each symbolic parameter name. (Any keywords in the WITH VALUES clause must match those in the DEFAULT clause.)
• The value for the keyword.
