SMFD Control Statement Reference › BEGIN

BEGIN

This control statement signals the start of a series of statements defining a configuration. BEGIN appears in:

• the input stream after a COMPILE control statements.
• a data set referenced by a SOURCE operand in a COMPILE statement.

Each BEGIN must have a corresponding END to conclude the definition of that particular configuration. Each configuration definition remains in the SCDS file. It can later be replaced but not deleted.

Statement Format:

BEGIN

►►─ BEGIN ─ CONFIG(n) ─ SID(sid) ─ NAME(name) ─ . ────────────────────────────►◄

Operands and Descriptions:

CONFIG(n)
