Although many automation rules are independent of other rules, the implementation of some rules depend on actions performed using other automation rules. In Control-O, these interdependencies can be defined using the following mechanisms.
Table 3 Mechanisms for Defining Automation Rule Interdependencies
| Mechanism | Description | 
|---|---|
| Prerequisite conditions | A condition or conditions set by a rule to enable execution of another rule. | 
| DO RULE statement | When specified in a Control-O rule, this statement can trigger another rule (in which a corresponding ON RULE statement is specified). | 
| DO TSO statements | When specified in a Control-O rule, this statement can invoke a TSO, REXX procedure or CLIST program. |
