Parameter Mask for DO procedures

SP %name [, jrsave]

Save Parameters. This command will save the current parameter mask under the specified name to a file CFS.JRSAVE [.jobname]. If the jrsave option was not specified, it will be saved to a file that has been assigned as follows: FILE file,LINK= JRSAVE. The naming convention for the JRSAVE file name is described in Chapter 27 "CFS Files and Job Variables" in the CFS.JRSAVE section.

%name The parameter set %name contains the DO parameter assignments, the name of the DO procedure, as well as any Enter parameters that may have been specified. If a /FILE file,LINK=JRSAVE command is executed, the parameter file to be used can be assigned by the user.

jrsave Name of the JRSAVE file. This name should only be specified if the parameters are stored in a file with a name that differs from the standard CFS JRSAVE name (see above).

Entering the command E %name will pass the parameter set stored under that name to the Enter job.

Entering the command DO %name in a Connection under the same userid will also display the parameter mask. DO %name can thus be used to run a previously saved DO procedure with a particular parameter set in dialog mode.

In Connections the user can also simply enter 'DO '. This will display the last DO procedure that was processed, together with the parameters last used (the last parameter mask is displayed).
