EXEC Control statements
Section 5. CMS EXEC Control Statements
This section describes the formats, usage rules, and default values for EXEC control words, including: • Control statements • Built-in functions • Special variables
An procedure is a CMS file that contains a sequence of CRS commands and/or EXEC control statements. Control statements determine
the logic flow for EXEC, provide terminal communications, and may be
used to manipulate CMS disk files. For an introduction to the EXEC facilities, and for complete tutorial information, including examples,
consult the Guide. EXEC procedures may be invoked with the EXEC command, described in "Section 2. CMS Commands." You may also execute an EXEC procedure by
specifying its filename, as long as the implied EXEC function is in
effect.
