Coding Macros

When coding the macros, you can specify generic identifiers. For the purposes of these macros only, you can code a generic identifier as a combination of the actual characters of the identifier and asterisks (*). For any position of the identifier, except for the last that an asterisk is coded, an exact match of that one position is not required. When the last position of the generic identifier contains an asterisk, any number of characters can follow the identifier.

For example, the following table lists generic and actual identifiers and specifies whether the generic and actual identifiers match:

Generic Identifier

Actual Identifier

Match

TECHVS

TECHVS

Yes

TECHVS

TECHVSE

No

TECH*

TECHVS

Yes

T*CHVS

TECHVS

Yes

T*CHVS

TACHVS

Yes

T*CHVS

TEACHVS

No

A*B*C*

AABBCCDD

Yes

A*B*C

AABBCCDD

No

A*B*C

AYBYC

Yes

After you code the macros, assemble and link edit the security table as RMOATHTB with authorization code 1 and then place the security table in the library that contains CA Deliver's load modules.

Important! When coding RMOAGRP USER=, the value you specify for USER= is the identifier assigned to the executing job or task by your external security system.
