How to use this reference chapter
This chapter lists the FM/IMS batch functions.
The following subsections are supplied, where relevant,
for each function:
- Purpose
- A short summary of what you can do with the function.
- Usage notes
- A more detailed explanation of the function.
- Return Codes
- Lists the return codes that are specific to the function.
- Related functions
- Other functions that are related in some way.
- Syntax
- A syntax diagram, followed by a parameter list. The parameter list describes
the parameter, and shows (where appropriate) its maximum value and default value.
If you specify parameters that are not relevant to the function, FM/IMS ignores them. If you specify the same parameter more than once, FM/IMS uses the first value that you specify.
For information on how to read a syntax diagram, see How to read syntax diagrams.
- Batch example
- A listing of a sample batch job.
- Reports
- A sample listing of any report or reports produced by the batch JCL.
