Any character in a condition code, system abend code or user abend code may be replaced by an asterisk (*). An asterisk means "any value" for the character it replaces. For example, if S*13 is specified, the code criteria for the step is satisfied by codes S013, S613, S913, and so on.
The qualifiers described in Table 203 can be used in certain cases.
Table 203 ON PGMST Parameter Code Qualifiers
Qualifier |
Description |
|---|---|
> |
Greater than. Valid as a qualifier for condition codes and user abend codes. |
< |
Less than. Valid as a qualifier for condition codes and user abend codes. |
N |
Specifies not to perform the accompanying DO statements if the specified code exists in the step. Valid as a qualifier for condition codes, user abend codes and system abend codes. |
Note: The N qualifier indicates that the DO statements must not be performed if the specified condition exists. It does not indicate that the DO statements must be performed if the specified condition does not exist.
The relationship between multiple codes in an ON PGMST statement is OR, that is, the appearance of any of the codes in the specified step satisfies the ON criteria, except for range specifications such as >C0010 or <C0040.
However, code criteria qualified by N take precedence over all other code criteria. If a code that is specified with an N qualifier is generated by the specified step, accompanying DO actions are not performed even if other ON code criteria are satisfied.
