Input

Input to Verification Posting can be from one of three sources:

If Verification Posting is called from another program, the input is supplied in a control block passed as a standard OS parameter. The control block is described by the supplied copybook APCCMVRX.
If Verification Posting is called from JCL, the input can be supplied in the PARM= field of the EXEC statement, or in the VRFYUPD file. There are three required parameters and seven optional parameters, separated by commas.
If supplied in the PARM= field the sequence and values are:

Description	Status	Length
Verification Category Number	Required	1 to 2
Move Request Number	Required	1 to 6
Verification Status	Required	1
Reason Code	Optional	1 to 4
Comment	Optional	1 to 70
Comment	Optional	1 to 70
Comment	Optional	1 to 70
Comment	Optional	1 to 70
Comment	Optional	1 to 70
Comment	Optional	1 to 70

If input is supplied in the VRFYUPD file, the PARM= field of the EXEC statement must be omitted. If there is any parameter in the PARM= field of the EXEC statement, the VRFYUPD file is ignored. You must use one main record and zero to six comment records. Comments can be anywhere in columns 1‑70 of the comment records.

The format of the main record is:

Description	Status	Length
Verification Category Number	Required	2
Move Request Number	Required	6
Verification Status	Required	1
Reason Code	Optional	4
