$BKOTDSN

The 1 to 44-character data set name for the Library Code Production level Back Out data set.

$BKOTSEC

The 1 to 10-character security data for the Library Code Production level Back Out data set.

$BKUPAM

The 1 to 2-character Access Method code for the Library Code Production level Backup data set.

$BKUPDDN

The 1 to 8-character ddname for the Library Code Production level Backup data set.

$BKUPDSN

The 1 to 44-character data set name for the Library Code Production level Backup data set.

$BKUPSEC

The 1 to 10-character security data for the Library Code Production level Backup data set.

$MOVETIME

A one-character code indicating the type of move being processed. The values for this keyword are:

Q

Move Modeling move to QA

P

Move Modeling move to Production

B

Move Modeling Production Back Out move

T

Retrieve Modeling copy to Test

O

On‑demand Modeling, no movement

V

Verification Modeling, no movement

$OPTBP

The one-character BKUP‑>PROD Option value from the Library Code indicating whether Back Out processing is supported, Y, or not supported, N. It is now emulated, based on the Library Code Production level Backout Control value. If the Backout Control is B or R, then this keyword is set to Y, otherwise it is set to N.

$OPTMVDEL

The one-character Delete from Test at QA Move Time Option value from the Library Code indicating whether the member in the Test library should be deleted, Y, or should not be deleted, N, after the move to QA is complete.

It is now emulated, based on the Library Code QA level Move Control value. If the Move Control value is M or D, then this keyword is set to Y, otherwise it is set to N.

$OPTPB

The one-character PROD‑>BKUP Option value from the Library Code indicating whether to copy Production members to Backup at production move time, Y, or not, N.

It is now emulated, based on the Library Code Production level Backup Enabled value. If the Backup Enabled value is Y, so is this keyword, otherwise it is set to N.

$OPTPO

The one-character PROD‑>BKOT Option value from the Library Code indicating whether to copy Production members to Backout at Back Out move time.

It is now emulated, based on the Library Code Production level Backout Control value. If the Backout Control value is R, this keyword is set to Y, otherwise it is set to N.

$OPTQADEL

The one-character Delete from TEST/QA at PROD Move Time Option value from the Library Code indicating whether the member in the Test or QA library should be deleted, Y, or should not be deleted, N, after the move to Production is complete.

It is now emulated, based on the Library Code Production level Move Control value. If the Move Control value is M (Move) or D (Delete), this keyword is set to Y, otherwise it is set to N.

$OPTTP

The one-character TEST/QA‑>PROD Option value from the Library Code indicating whether to move members into Production, Y, or not, N.

It is now emulated, based on the Library Code Production level Move Control value. If the Move Control value is M (Move) or C (Copy), this keyword is set to Y, otherwise it is set to N.

$OPTTQ

The one-character TEST‑>QA Option value from the Library Code indicating whether this Library Code supports moves from Test to QA, Y, or not, N.

It is now emulated, based on the Library Code Quality Assurance level Move Control value. If the Move Control value is M (Move) or C (Copy), this keyword is set to Y, otherwise it is set to N.

$PRODAM

The 1 to 2-character Access Method code for the Library Code Production level Target data set.

$PRODDDN

The 1 to 8-character ddname for the Library Code Production level Target data set.

$PRODDSN

The 1 to 44-character data set name for the Library Code Production level Target data set.

$PRODSEC

The 1 to 10-character security data for the Library Code Production level Target data set.

$QAAM

The 1 to 2-character Access Method code for the Library Code Quality Assurance level Target data set.

$QADDN

The 1 to 8-character ddname for the Library Code Quality Assurance level Target data set.

$QADSN

The 1 to 44-character data set name for the Library Code Quality Assurance level Target data set.

$QAONLY

The one-character QA‑Only field value from the Move Request identified by $MR. The value indicates whether this is a QA‑Only Move Request, Y, or not, N.

It is now emulated based upon the Early Stop Level for the Move Request. If the Early Stop Level specifies your Quality Assurance level this keyword is set to Y, otherwise it is set to N.

$QASEC

The 1 to 10-character security data for the Library Code Quality Assurance level Target data set.

$TESTAM

The 1 to 2-character Access Method code for the Library Code Test level data set.

$TESTDDN

The 1 to 8-character ddname for the Library Code Test level data set.

$TESTDSN

The 1 to 44-character data set name for the Library Code Test level data set.

$TESTSEC

The 1 to 10-character security data for the Library Code Test level data set.

$VERLEVEL

A one-character value indicating the level for the Verification being modeled. The value can be T for Test verification, Q for QA verification, and P for Production verification. The new keyword to determine this is $VERSHORTNAME, which gives to the short level name at which the Verification is being modeled.

$VERMOVETIME

A one-character value indicating what the $MOVETIME variable will contain on the next tentative move. Note that $MOVETIME is also obsolete. The new keyword with the closest meaning is $DEST1SHORTNAME, which gives you the short level name for the next tentative move.
