RUN

Operation Notes

Usage

You can enter this command from a session or a job. Y ou cannot enter this command from a program unless y ou or the calling program ha ve process handling (PH) capability . Pressing 4Break5 suspends execution of this command. Execution con tinues when you enter the RESUME command. You can stop execution via the ABORT command.

You cannot enter this command directly from break mode. If y ou do, the system prompts y ou to abort the previously suspended program. If y ou reply NO, the RUN command does not execute. If y ou reply YES, the suspended program aborts and the RUN command executes.

Implied form of the command

You can use an implied form of the RUN command by omitting the command name RUN and entering the name of the program along with either the INFO or PARM parameters. (No other RUN command parameters are supported.)

The native mode parser, rather than the compatibility mode parser, is used when you enter the implied form of the command. Consequen tly,

you can use quotes (" or ') with the program ￿le name and/or the

;INFO=

parameter. Quotes are not required if the parameter does not con

tain

delimiter characters, such as a blank, a comma, a semicolon, quotemarks, or an equal sign.
