General Information

When DO CONDITION is specified, the designated prerequisite condition is added to, 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:

VOL-IN-USE

TAPE-MOUNTED

The creation or deletion of prerequisite conditions by a DO CONDITION statement can trigger (or prevent) the execution of processes in Control-M, Control-D, and other environments that require those prerequisite conditions as IN conditions.

Each prerequisite condition is associated with a specified scheduling date.

If two or more DO CONDITION statements contradict one another, the last executed statement overrides the preceding statements.

AutoEdit variables can be embedded only into the name of the condition in the DO CONDITION statement (but not the date reference). These variables are resolved (replaced) at time of rule activation. For information about AutoEdit variables, see AutoEdit Variables.
