*FORCE– Option

This option can be used for defining sub-trees. When the user name starts with the string *FORCE– followed by either a user name or asterisk (*), special handling occurs. This means that when two or more DO USER statements are used, the search for the user name is not outside the "branch" of the tree identified by the user name in the *FORCE statement. If *FORCE– * is specified, a search is performed for user name in the specified line or column range. After it is identified and a search is performed for another user under it in the tree (because of another DO USER statement), the search is limited to children of the identified user. *FORCE– affects all DO USER statements in the current ON block even if they are defined in another WHEN block.
