OPS/REXX Built-in Functions › OPSARMST Function

OPSARMST Function

The OPSARMST function can be used in OPS/REXX, AOF rules, TSO/E REXX, or CLIST to return ARM-related information in the form of output stem variables for a unique ARM element name, a particular jobname, an ARM restart group name, a single system, or a full sysplex. The primary use of this function is to determine whether a single job or element name is registered with ARM and its current status and attributes. For tasks or jobs that were registered with ARM using the OPSARM function, OPSARMST can be used in any subsequent rule to determine whether the element should be deregistered at normal end of job or set to the ready state by a task-issued message.

OPSARMST has the following format:

var = OPSARMST(selector_name, selector_value,

     {LOCALONLY}, {DETAILS}, keyword arguments)

The function arguments describe the type of information retrieval that OPSARMST performs.
