LPROS Command

The LPROS command lists documentation.

You can define documentation for each portion of the production workload through the CA WA CA 7 Edition documentation facility. You can define documentation in the database for each individual network. Network documentation can be very helpful at the time a network is being processed. The Database Maintenance Guide describes how this information is entered into the database.

Once defined, this documentation is available at any level, from the general description of a network to the specific operating instructions for a workstation task. Documentation can be listed by using the LPROS top line command or the DB.4 panel. Either can be used in batch or online. It is your responsibility to keep documentation accurate, current, and consistent with data center standards using the database maintenance documentation facilities.

This command has the following format:

LPROS,{UID=user}
      {DSN=dsname}
      {DSNBR={PP*|PPnnnnnn|PP00nnnnn*}}
      {JOB=jobname[,STEP=stepname][,DD=ddname]}
      {SYS=system}
      {NW=network}
      [,LIST={ALL|NOLINK}]
      [,SEG={xxxxxxxx|(xxxxxxxx,yyyyyyyy)}]
