What You Can Do

You can change report numbers and character strings, drop or keep parameters, and renumber type 7 and type 8 sequence numbers with the USE parameter.

How to Do It

• To modify code, use one or more CHANGE clauses for each USE parameter.

  Only one clause can specify a report number change.

• To eliminate or retain code, use one or more DROP or KEEP clauses.

  If both DROP and KEEP are coded, precedence is given to the DROP clause.

• To renumber type 7 and type 8 sequence numbers, use one or more RENUMBER clauses.

  The RENUMBER clause must be the last clause coded on the USE parameter.
