PUNCH Mode Syntax

The syntax for the commands in PUNCH mode is the same as described in the Batch Syntax chapter. You have to enter all the required clauses in each syntax and end each command with a period.

When you have CA Endevor/DB Batch process a command in PUNCH mode, the punched output will reflect the contents of the CCDB. There will be one command punched for each description (entity, CCID, etc.) in the CCDB that matches the selection criteria in your original command. The punched commands will each include some combination of the clauses in your original command and the information in the CCDB. The rules for this combination depend on the command verb you use in your original command ( ADD, MODIFY, or DELETE).

The following sections describe the output clause combinations for each of the three command verbs.
