Appendix A BMC Software Product Authorization A-29
Control Statements and Keywords
Some tasks require different input parameters depending on the type of
password that you are installing. The sample JCL shown in Figure A-14 on
page A-28 shows various tasks that you can perform by using the batch
version of product authorization. You need to modify the JCL to include only
the tasks that you want to perform.
The following syntax rules apply to the control statements:
• Control statements can begin in any column.
• Uppercase letters are required.
• You must insert at least one blank space between individual keywords
and data fields. Multiple blank spaces are acceptable.
• To insert comments, type an asterisk (*) in column 1 of each line that
contains the comment. Comments following keywords are not allowed.
• You cannot specify the
LIST keyword on the same line as PSWD,
NEWCPUID, and OLDCPUID.
Table A-6 describes the control statement keywords.
