The DSUPPS statement is used in conjunction with the DISPLAY parameter to suppress the display output for selected record IDs. The DSUPPS parameter affects only the PROGRAM Display.
The following examples demonstrate the rules that you need to adhere to relating to notation conventions:
Example: Keywords appear in UPPERCASE
:display. PROCESS
The required portion of each keyword is underlined. You can omit the portion of a keyword that is not underlined without altering the meaning of the statement.
Example: Variables appear in lowercase
:display. REPORT = report type
You must substitute an appropriate value for each variable.
Example: Braces enclose two or more options
/ ALL \
│ REPORTS │
PROCESS = < DISPLAYS >
\ EXTRACTS /
You must select only one of the options.
Example: Square brackets indicate optional clauses
:display. [,DATE=start-date]
The following are the rules that you need to adhere to relating to parameter syntax:
Enter the PROCESS statement first. You can enter the other parameter statements in any order.
To continue a parameter statement onto the next record, key in a trailing comma. Do not split a keyword between two records.
You can enter blanks (character spaces) to separate keywords and improve readability in a parameter statement without affecting processing. When you include blanks in a value field, you must enclose the entire field in single quotes.
On an 80-character input record, enter all parameter syntax between columns 1 and 72 (inclusive).
Enter an asterisk (*) in column 1 to indicate a comment.
When entering values for a series of variables, separate the values with commas and enclose the entire series with parentheses.
The remainder of this describes the parameter formats and syntax, as well as all the fields associated with each parameter. You can examples illustrating the use of the parameters in Chapter 5.
