DO Parameters

Figure 107 illustrates the DO parameters that can be used in Control-M/Analyzer balancing rules. The DO parameters that were used in solving the six problems in this chapter are checked.

Figure 107 What Automated Balancing Action Parameters
(DO Statements) Can Do

From the diagram, you see that by performing the exercises in this guide, you have

• performed a great deal of variable manipulation, using DO EXTRACT, DO SET, and DO COMMIT
• used DO SHOUT to invoke the IOA SHOUT facility

  The DO COND adds or deletes conditions from the IOA Conditions file.

• printed reports, using DO PRINT

  DO REMARK creates a one line remark which is placed in the Invocation Report and the Rule Activity display.

• modified the order of execution of the rule, using DO BLOCK, DO GOTO, and DO TERMINAT

  While you have not called other rules (DO RULE), or user-defined routines within a rule (DO CALLUSER), these action parameters are very similar to the others.

• You did not need to use "AutoEdit" manipulation actions (DO GETMEM, DO ADDSYM, DO PUTMEM) in this demo. These special purpose variables are explained in the Control-M/Analyzer for z/OS User Guide.
