Example of a Complex Batch Control Statement

The following is a syntax diagram that contains some more complex instructions:

UPDATE (for users and profiles)

->>--- UPDATE ------ TPX ----------- USER --------------(---->
                 +-- STX --+     +-- PROFILES --+

    +-----------------------------------------+
    |              +---------------------+     |
    V              V                      |     |
->---- object --(------ variable(value) -----)-----)----------><

Although this syntax diagram has two lines, you do not have to enter your control statement on two lines. The syntax diagram simply does not fit on one line. The single right arrowhead at the end of the first line indicates that the control path continues on the next line.

The two repeat arrows in this diagram indicate the following:

• The longer arrow indicates that you can repeat the items object (variable(value)) as many times as you like.
• The shorter arrow shows that, within the previous repetition, you can also repeat variable(value) as many times as you like.

Here is an example of an UPDATE statement following the syntax diagram:

UPDATE USER (USER1 (UIDXJKEY(PA2) UIDXMKEY(PA3))
             USER2 (UIDXJKEY(PA2)))
