- Chain multiple CFS commands

Multiple commands can be entered in the command field of CFS to be executed one after the other. The individual commands are seperated from one another by the Separator character semicolon ";" . For particular information regarding the seperator character when selecting files using the AL/NP commands, see page 7-.

Examples:

SPL;WAIT;LOCK

ADD CFS.DO.PRINT,CFS.LIB.PLAM,J/PRINT;/ER CFS.DO.PRINT

The seperator character ";" can be redefined to another character, if required. The command is: SEP x (x: new separator character).

Multiple commands can be chained in the CFS command field. The individual commands are identified from one another by the Separator symbol ";".

In addition, the separator symbol is used for

- Separating keyword parameters in *001/*002 records (see Chapter 19, "CFS Procedure Language"),

- Separating keyword parameters in the NP (New Parameters) and AL (Append List) commands,

- Concatenating multiple User Options in the respective Selection mask field, or in the OU (Standard User Options) command.

The separator symbol can be redefined using the SEP command.

SEP x x is the new separator symbol. The SEP command may not be chained with other commands.

SEP ? displays the current separatpr symbol. Refer also to the respective field in the CFS SET mask.
