*CON Assign the input source to SYSCMD

*CON SYSCMD The *CON statement is only relevant in Startup files, and will result in the next input being read from SYSCMD. It is thus possible to call CFS from a DO procedure, and run the normal CFS Startup (no /SETSW ON=(1,14) in the DO procedure). At the end of the procedure, the input source can be switched to the DO procedure with a *CON statement. This means that further special commands can be executed in addition to the general Startup commands.

If CFS is not called from a DO procedure (Procedure Level 0), then the *CON SYSCMD statement will have the same effect as the *DIA statement (see below).

A terminating statement (*ON %END CONTINUE) will be correctly handled if it follows a *CON statement.
