How to use this reference chapter
This chapter lists the Z Data Tools functions in alphabetical order, followed by the REXX external functions in alphabetical order.
The following subsections are supplied, where relevant, for each
function:
- Purpose
- A short summary of what you can do with the function.
- Usage notes
- A more detailed explanation of the function.
- Options
- A more detailed explanation of the function.
- Return Codes
- Lists the return codes that are specific to the function.
- Related functions
- Other functions that are related in some way (for example, if the function is for tapes, the list of other tape functions).
- Syntax
- A syntax diagram, followed by a parameter list. The parameter
list describes the parameter, and shows (where appropriate) its maximum
value and default value.
If you specify parameters that are not relevant to the function, Z Data Tools ignores them. If you specify the same parameter more than once, Z Data Tools uses the first value that you specify.
- Batch example
- A listing of a sample batch job.
