Length:
The length of the subparameters passed must not exceed 100 characters: - Including any commas, which are passed to the processing program.
- Excluding any enclosing parentheses or apostrophes, which are
not passed.
For example, PARM='P1,123,MT5' is received by
the program as P1,123,MT5.
Commas: When
you code more than one subparameter, separate the subparameters by
commas and enclose the subparameters in parentheses or apostrophes.
For example, PARM=(P1,123,MT5) or PARM='P1,123,MT5'.
Special characters and blanks: When a subparameter
contains special characters or blanks, enclose it in apostrophes and
the other subparameters in parentheses, or enclose all the subparameters
in apostrophes. For example, PARM=(P50,'12+80') or PARM='P50,12+80'.
Code
each apostrophe and ampersand that is part of the subparameter as
two consecutive apostrophes or ampersands. For example, code 3462&5
as PARM='3462&&5'.
However, if a subparameter
contains a symbolic parameter, code a single ampersand. You can code
the symbolic parameter in apostrophes.
Continuation
onto another statement: Enclose the subparameters in parentheses.
End each statement with a comma after a subparameter. For example: //STEP1 EXEC PGM=WORK,PARM=(DECK,LIST,'LINECNT=80',
// '12+80',NOMAP)
Do not code an apostrophe in column
71; see Continuing parameter fields enclosed in apostrophes if you need more information.
