5.1.4.1 VCCPARSE--Parameter Parse Routine

The VCCPARSE module handles the parsing of the VCC run
parameters. During VCC initialization, the VCCNTRL main task
loads, calls, and deletes this module.  The main functions of
VCCPARSE are the following:

    o  Verify the presence of a VCCPARMS DD JCL statement.
       If one is not present, assign defaults, and return
       control to VCCNTRL.

    o  Open the VCCPARMS data set.

    o  Parse each parameter in the VCCPARMS data set as it is
       read in.  The valid parameter formats are the
       following:

         - KEYWORD=number
                   character string
                   data set name

         - KEYWORD=(list)

             where list can be a list of characters or data
             set names separated by commas.  The list may
             span VCCPARMS records.

    o  Close the VCCPARMS data set and set defaults for any
       unspecified parameters after all VCCPARMS records have
       been read.

    o  Return control to VCCNTRL.
