AutoEdit Facility

The AutoEdit facility enables inclusion of user-defined variables and system variables in rule definitions. AutoEdit variables are generally specified in place of hard coded values which change frequently, such as the current date. The variables are resolved (that is, they are replaced with the appropriate values) during rule processing. The use of AutoEdit variables can eliminate the need to edit and update rules once they have been defined.

User-defined variables that are defined as Global variables can be used by other Control-O rules triggered on the same system.

User-defined variables that are defined as Sysplex-wide variables can be used by other Control-O rules triggered anywhere in the Sysplex.

For added flexibility, various AutoEdit functions and control statements can be used to manipulate variables and constants anywhere AutoEdit expressions are used.

For more information on the AutoEdit facility, see AutoEdit Facility.
