INPUT – Command input DD statement
You can name a specific DD statement for Workload Automation Programming Language to read for the main command stream,
specify an address for a control block containing the main command stream, or specify
INPUT(-OFF-)
to prevent Workload Automation Programming Language from attempting to read an
INPUT
stream from a file, so it reads only from the External Data
Queue.
To specify a DD statement, include the name as the keyword value, as in the following
example:
OPTIONS INPUT(MYCMDS)
To specify a control block, set an 8-character
hexadecimal address with a prefix of 0x, as in the following example:OPTIONS INPUT(0x0000CAA0)
Note: This keyword is effective only if you specify it within
EQQOPTS
, the
ARGS
symbolic parameter, or the argument when calling EQQYXTOP/EQQWAPL
directly.
