Output Operations from an MDO

A number of NCL verbs allow output operations from an entire MDO. These include the following:

• &APPC SEND
• &ASSIGN
• &CNMALERT
• &CNMSEND
• &DECODE
• &ENCODE
• &EVENT
• &FILE PUT
• &PPI SEND
• &VARTABLE PUT
• &WRITE

Read exceptions from an MDO are rare, and are confined to a name check if an undefined component is referenced, or a data check if the data does not conform to the mapping rules. However, in some instances where the component definitions of fixed fields overlap each other type checks on read are possible.
