(MIM) IFSYS Statement-Mark Beginning of Command Block

The IFSYS statement marks the beginning of a block of commands or statements that should be executed on a subset of the systems in your complex. It identifies the systems on which these commands or statements should be executed. IFSYS statements, which are used with ENDIF statements, let you conveniently share the same MIMPARMS and MIMMSGS data sets among systems in a multiple-system configuration.

This statement has the following format:

IFSYS sysid1[,sysid2,sysid3,...,sysidn]

sysidn

Specifies the IDs of the systems on which the following commands or statements should be executed, to a maximum of 16 IDs. You can use system names, aliases, or index numbers to identify systems.

Usage Notes: IFSYS Statement

• The IFSYS statement can be specified in any member of the MIMPARMS and MIMMSGS data sets.
• The IFSYS statement must be used in conjunction with the ENDIF statement to mark a block of commands or statements.
• You can use IFSYS and ENDIF statements to direct any command or statement except the DEFSYS and CTCPATH statements. You also can use IFSYS and ENDIF statements to direct device entries for CA MIA.
• CA MIM ignores all statements and commands enclosed between IFSYS and ENDIF statements unless the system ID on the IFSYS statement matches the system ID for the system that is initializing. If the system IDs match, then CA MIM executes the commands or statements.

Example: IFSYS Statement

Suppose that the EDIPARMS member contains EDIF processing statements for systems SYS1 and SYS2 and that the EDITEMP member contains EDIF processing statements for SYS3. You would specify the following IFSYS/ENDIF statement block to make each system use the correct member:

IFSYS SYS1,SYS2
   EDIINIT MEMBER=EDIPARMS
ENDIF
IFSYS SYS3 
   EDIINIT MEMBER=EDITEMP
ENDIF
