Using the TBESMFUT SMF Record Format Utility › Control Statements › Syntax

Syntax

To help you format the control statements to appear more legible, TBESMFUT ignores the following:

• Blank lines
• Comment blocks beginning with a ‘/*’ and ending with a ‘*/
• Lines that have an asterisk in the first column that are outside the comment blocks
• Blank spaces

To assign a single value to a keyword, use the following format:

KEWORD = VALUE

To assign more than one value to a keyword, use the following list format:

KEYWORD = ( VALUE1, VALUE2, …, VALUEn )

You can also repeat the KEYWORD = VALUEn format multiple times. You can only have one keyword per line and you cannot specify blank values.

When using the list format, you can continue multiple values onto proceeding lines. In this case, line breaks are only allowed after the “,”.
