General Information

The ENVIRONMENT parameter is mandatory.

To create a general rule that applies to all environments, enter the keyword GENERAL in the ENVIRONMENT field.

If an environment is specified with the invocation parameters, both the rules that have been defined for the particular environment and the rules that have been defined with the GENERAL keyword are applied in the processing. If an environment is not specified, only the rules that have been defined with the GENERAL keyword are applied.

The ENVIRONMENT parameter determines the order of searching the rules. If the validation is performed with a specific environment name, the rules with the specified environment name will be invoked before the GENERAL ones.
