IBM 4J manual Submitting a Process, Pname = A?PROD5, Parameter Description Values

Page 12

vWhen typing commands, type the entire command name or type the first three characters or abbreviate specific parameters. Refer to “Abbreviations for Common Sterling Connect:Direct Commands” on page 5for a list of abbreviations.

vDo not abbreviate Process statements and parameters.

vFile names, group names, user IDs, and passwords are variable length strings and can be any length.

vA Sterling Connect:Direct node name is 1–16 characters long. The name of a record in the netmap describing a remote node is typically the remote Sterling Connect:Direct node name, but can be any string 1–256 characters long. You can also specify a remote node name as an IP address or hostname and a port number or port name.

“Generic” Parameter Value

When the word generic is specified as a parameter value in a syntax definition, provide a string that can include the asterisk (*) and question mark (?) characters. These characters provide a pattern matching or wildcard facility for parameter values. The asterisk matches zero or more characters, and the question mark matches any single character. The following sample illustrates the use of the asterisk and question mark characters:

PNAME = A?PROD5*

The generic Process name specified in the previous sample shows a specification that matches all Processes beginning with the letter A, followed by any single character in position two with the string PROD5 in positions three through seven. The asterisk takes the place of zero or more characters beginning in position eight.

“List” Parameter Value

When (list) is a parameter value, you can specify multiple parameter values by enclosing the group in parentheses and separating each value with a comma. A list can also include generic values. The following command illustrates a list:

(pnumber1, pnumber2, pnumber3)

Submitting a Process

The submit command makes Processes available for execution and enables the software to interpret the Process statements contained in the specified files.

Parameters specified in the submit command override the same parameters specified on the Process statement. There are no required parameters. However, if you do not specify a file name for the file parameter, the text of the Sterling Connect:Direct Process must follow the submit command. Following are the parameters for the submit command:
