SOURCE1

Specification for the first data source. Mandatory. The value Y (yes) must be specified for one and only one of the FILE, SYSOUT, or DD subparameters.

FILE

Valid values are:

• Y (Yes)
• N (No). Default.

If Y is specified, FILENAME is displayed and a valid filename must be specified.

FILENAME – Name of the sequential dataset used as the data source. Maximum 44 characters. Mandatory.

SYSOUT

Valid values are:

• Y (Yes)
• N (No). Default.

If Y is specified, the following additional subparameters are displayed. A value, up to 8 characters, must be specified for at least one of these subparameters.

• PROCST – Name of procedure step whose SYSOUT is used as the data source.
• PGMST – Name of the program step whose SYSOUT is used as the data source.
• DDNAME – Name of the DD statement that references the file used as the data source.
• JOBNM – Name of the job that is used as the data source.

DD

Valid values are:

• Y (Yes)
• N (No). Default.

If Y is specified, the DDNAME subparameter is displayed, and a value for it must be specified.

DDNAME – Name of the DD statement that references the file used as the data source.

PROCESS

Indicates whether each line is subject to modification before being sent to the Differences algorithm (described below). Valid values are:

• Y (Yes)
• N (No). Default.

If Y is specified, the BUILTIN and USERBLOCK subparameters are displayed and a valid built-in process or a valid user block name must be specified.

BUILTIN

Name of a built-in process to be performed. Maximum 8 characters. Currently, the only valid value is BMSUBST, a process that modifies strings in input lines, based on specified masks.

If built-in process BMSUBST is specified, the SUBSTFROM and SUBSTTO subparameters are displayed.

• SUBSTFROM–Mask for the string that is input to the process, such as ‘??/??/??’. Maximum 20 characters. Mandatory.
• SUBSTTO–Mask for the string that is output from the process, such as  ‘??/??/19??’. Maximum 20 characters. Mandatory.

USERBLOCK

Name of a user-defined block to be performed. The block must be defined elsewhere in the same rule. Maximum 8 characters.

SOURCE2

Specification for the second data source. Mandatory. The same subparameter descriptions apply to both SOURCE1 and SOURCE2. See the descriptions above for information about SOURCE2 subparameters.

MODE

Starting point for line and column values. Optional. Valid values are:

• DS – Line and column values are calculated from the beginning of the dataset.
• PG – Line and column values are calculated from the beginning of the page.

If a value is not specified, the value DS is automatically inserted.

LINECT

Number of lines per printed page. Optional. Minimum: 1. Default: 60.

DATASTAMP

Determines whether a unique datastamp is calculated and assigned to the data sources. For more information, see Datastamp Calculation. Valid values are:

• blank – Datastamp is not generated. Default.
• 1 – Datastamp is calculated using the original algorithm to ensure compatibility with prior versions of Control-M/Analyzer.
• 2 – Datastamp is calculated using the newer, more efficient algorithm.
