Documentation Segments Display

If your installation has adopted standard naming conventions, displaying the documentation that is contained in the segments is easy.

For example, all date card instructions for all jobs could be entered in the database, within each job's JOB documentation, with a standard segment name of DATECARD. Whenever any question arises regarding the date card for a particular job, the user can display the documentation with the LPROS command, giving only the name of that job and the segment name DATECARD as follows:

LPROS,JOB=jobname,SEG=DATECARD

If more documentation on this job is available, it is not displayed. Only the requested segment is displayed. To obtain all documentation on this job, omit the SEG parameter.

By segmenting documentation, the user can view selected parts of the documentation and not have to view all the documentation at one time.
