Figure below illustrates the format of the PARMS control statement.
The PARMS control statement applies to all machines that share the key data set, unless the SER parameter is used to specify each machine on which a message is to be disabled. The selected options apply to all releases of MFX and all LPARs on the specified machines.
- All keywords and parameters must be in the first 71 columns of the statement and can begin in column 1 or have leading blanks (no statement labels are permitted).
- Continuation statements that end in a comma and continue on the next non-comment statement are permitted.
- All PARMS control statements must be placed before any records with keys in the data set. The statement will be ignored otherwise.
