Parameter Statement Syntax Checking

CA IDMS/DB Analyzer is driven by one mandatory and four optional parameter statements. These parameter statements make it easy for you to perform processing that meets your exact needs no matter how general or specific they may be.

In addition, you can check the syntax of all entered parameter statements before processing is begun. This makes it possible for you to run CA IDMS/DB Analyzer over a weekend, or at some other time when you are not present, without the possibility of abnormal termination of a program because of a syntax error. If CA IDMS/DB Analyzer does encounter a syntax error during a processing run, it checks all other parameter statement syntax for correctness before terminating abnormally. Consequently, you can correct all syntax errors before requesting another processing run.
