General Information

When a DO COND statement is specified and the rule is activated, the designated prerequisite conditions are added or deleted from the IOA Conditions file according to the option specified.

A prerequisite condition can define any user-specified situation. The following are examples of prerequisite conditions:

IMS-ACTIVE

WEEKEND

SALARY-OK

Prerequisite conditions created or deleted using a DO COND statement can trigger (or stop) the activation of other rules, or the execution of processes in Control-M, Control-D and other environments.

Control-O AutoEdit variables embedded in DO COND subparameters are resolved (replaced) at the time of rule activation. For more information about the AutoEdit facility, see AutoEdit Facility.

Note: When ? is used in the CONDOPT field to check the status of the condition, a value of Y (Yes) or N (No) is returned to the %%$CONDSTAT AutoEdit variable.

A DO COND statement can be distributed to Control-O on a remote system that is identified by the %%$COMMSYS reserved user-defined variable in a preceding DO SET statement. For more information, see the description of %%$COMMSYS in Reserved User-Defined Variables, and Performing an Action on Another System ctoug3.
