Use of the IMMEDIATE Keyword

You can invoke a stream without reviewing it if the first space-delimited word in the stream is the keyword IMMEDIATE or any substring of this keyword. In this case, the second space-delimited word is considered to be the external task code, and must follow established rules for CA IDMS/DC task codes. The remaining words in the stream are passed to the task as input data.

When there is no IMMEDIATE keyword, the stream appears in one of the two CA IDMS Masterkey screens (Prompt or Menu) for you to review or change. After review or change, press the ENTER key to activate the task.
