Keyword Rules

z/OS DFSMS Using the Volume Mount Analyzer
SC23-6859-00

When using keywords to tailor your output, you should:
  • Start or end keywords in any position from 1 to 71. Positions 72 through 80 are ignored
  • Separate keywords with either blanks or commas
  • Separate sub-keywords with commas
  • Separate items in a list with commas
  • Put keywords in any order
  • Use correct number of parentheses

If a keyword spans more than one record, you must indicate continuation by using continuation characters in the last text character of the keyword. Blanks can follow a continuation character in a record. Valid continuation characters for GFTAVMA are a comma and the left and right parenthesis.

Comments are surrounded by the delimiters /* and */. A comment start delimiter, /*, cannot be in column one. Examples:
TIME(0,12)  /* This is a comment */
TIME(0,     /* The last character, the comma, indicates continuation */
    12)     /* part two of the continued keyword */
