Range summary

The following tables summarize and illustrate how you should code JES2 initialization statements and commands using subscripts. Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3 focus your attention to the NAME of the initialization statement or the object of the command. You can use these tables as a reference to guide your coding. Examples of numeric and symbolic subscripts makes you aware of how JES2 processes numbers and names.

Table 1. Numeric Only (used for most devices, such as PRT, PUN, LINE, RMT)
Specification	Explanation and Examples
NAMEnn	number nn `RMT44 BUFSIZE=3500,COMPRESS=YES $T R5.PU1,JOBNAME=todeko,RANGE=(1,6),....`
NAME(nn)	number nn `RMT(3) BUFSIZE=4096,COMPRESS=NO $D R(3).PU(22),COMP,FLUSH,LRECL`
NAMEnn-mm	Ascending or descending range nn to mm `LINE5-2 COMPRESS=NO,JRNUM=2,JTNUM=2,... $T RMT5-1,MFORM=T,SHAR=Y,TRANSPAR=N`
NAME(nn-mm)	Ascending or descending range nn to mm `PRT(25-22) CREATOR=fredonia,DEVFCB=TABX $D PUN(11-10),CR,F,JOB`
NAMEnn-*	Ascending range from nn to maximum possible value `LINE5-* COMPRESS=NO,JRNUM=2,JTNUM=2,... $T RMT5-*,MFORM=T,SHAR=Y,TRANSPAR=N`
NAME(nn-*)	Ascending range from nn to maximum possible value `RDR(3-) XEQDEST=seattle $Trdr11-,tr=yes,Q`
NAME*-nn	Descending range from maximum possible value to nn `LINE-5 LOG=YES,TR=YES,SRNUM=224 $S line -1`
NAME(*-nn)	Descending range from maximum possible value to nn `LINE(-12) LOG=YES,TR=YES $T line (-10),DISCON=QUIESCE`
NAME(*)	All values, but holes not filled in by create requests `RMT() BUFSIZE=512,COMPRESS=YES $T RMT(),BUFSIZE=1024,COMPRESS=NO`
NAME(mm,nn)	Multiple subscripts `LINE(2,6) LOG=YES,TR=YES $tline(1,3),DISCON=QUIESCE`
NAME(mm,nn-pp)	Multiple subscripts (one subscript is a range) If the subscripts are processed individually, it is possible for a particular element to be processed multiple times (that is, for NAME(1-3,2), element 2 is processed twice). `rdr(1,10-15,22) AUTH=(JOB=YES) $D rdr(2,4-8,11),AUTH=JOB`
NAME	When allowed, equivalent to NAME(*). `d PRT $D L.jr`
Note: Valid Names: PRT, PUN, LINE, RMT.

Table 2. Symbolic Only (REDIRECT, APPL, JOBCLASS, OUTCLASS, SPOOL, SRVCLASS)
Specification	Explanation and Examples
NAME(xxxx)	Explicit subscript `REDIR(CN320) DA=cn330 $T REDIR(cn3e0),du=cn320 $ADD redir(cn3e0)`
NAME'xxxx'	Explicit character string `APPL'jmaxsum' compact=65,node=3 $dappl'maxsum',compact,line,logmode,...`
NAME('xxxx')	Explicit subscript as a character string `JOBCLASS('A') COMMAND=DISPLAY,HOLD=YES $d jobclass('c')`
NAME(xxxx-yyyy)	Explicit symbolic range. Wildcard characters may be specified in ranges, but they are not treated as wild cards. `OUTCLASS(a-j) blnktrnc=no,trkcell=no $Toutclass(2-3),outdisp=(purge,..`
NAME('xxxx'-'yyyy')	Explicit symbolic range as characters `REDIR('CN320'-'cn321') DA=cn444 $T REDIR('cn3e0'-'cn4e0'),du=cn320`
NAME(X*Y?Z)	* and ? are treated as wild card characters `APPL(jmax*) compact=65,node=3 $dappl('maxs?m'),compact,line,logmode,..`
NAME'X*Y?Z'	* and ? are NOT treated as wild card characters `OUTCLASS'a*',blnktrnc=no,trkcell=no $Djob'T?cobell'`
NAME(xxxx,yyyy)	Multiple keywords, must be in parenthesis and may include ranges, wild cards, or quoted strings. If the subscripts are processed individually, it is possible for a particular element to be processed multiple times. `JOBCLASS('A','B',c,D),HOLD=YES $d jobclass('c'-'d',e,f,g)`
NAME	When allowed, this is equivalent to NAME(*). Holes are never filled on create requests. `JOBCLASS $Djob,cards`

Table 3. Numeric and Symbolic (NODE, MEMBER, INIT.)
Specification	Explanation and Examples
NAMEnn	Numeric subscript `NODE001 auth=(net=yes),compact=65 $dnode4`
NAME(nn)	Symbolic name nn (if it exists, else numeric value nn) `MEMBER(3) NAME=100 $Tmember(100),IND=YES`
NAME'nn'	Name nn `INIT'3' name=backup,class=z $Si'3',status=halted`
NAMEnn-mm	Numeric range `INIT01-05 class=x,y,z,start=no $di01-02,class>x,status=halted`
NAME(nn-mm)	Numeric range. The expected performance would be as symbolic range, and if nothing exists in range, as a numeric range. `NODE(001-022) auth=(net=yes),... $dnode(4-9)`
NAME('nn-mm')	Symbolic range `MEMBER('100-115') NAME=wilcox $dmember('100-112'),IND=YES`
NAME(xxxx-mm)	Symbolic range. See note 3. `NODE(nyork-102) auth=(net=yes),compact=65 $dnode(atlanta-austin)`
NAME(nn-xxxx)	Symbolic range. See note 2. `INIT(01-txs) class=x,y,z,start=no $di(5-last),class>x,status=halted`
NAME(xxxx-yyyy)	Symbolic range `NODE(gaith-seattle) auth=(net=yes),... $dnode(atlanta-columbus)`
NAME(nn,'xxxx')	Multiple subscripts, may mix any valid flavors (numerics, symbols, ranges, wild cards). See note 1. `NODE(100,'alpha'-'sigma',102) PATHMGR=no $d member (3,'beta',1-5),IND=YES`
Note: If the subscripts are processed individually, it is possible for a particular element to be processed multiple times. To avoid confusion, it is recommended that when both numerics and symbolics are allowed, symbolic names (usually specified by a NAME=parameter) either include at least one alphabetic character, or match the numeric value exactly (for example, INIT(1) NAME=1). Any numeric is allowed. Symbolic is only allowed when both numeric and symbolic are allowed. All ranges are considered numeric unless at least one of the range limits is forced to be a symbolic. Holes are filled only on numeric ranges.
