Syntax rules for COFVLFxx

The following syntax rules apply to COFVLFxx:

• The content of the member is one or more CLASS statements.
• A CLASS statement begins with the statement identifier “CLASS” and ends with the end of file (EOF) or when another class statement identifier is found. No explicit continuation syntax is required.
• Commas and blanks in any combination constitute a delimiter.
• Delimiters or comments can precede the statement identifier.
• Delimiters are not required between parameters with values; the right parenthesis after the specified parameter value is sufficient.
• Comments begin with /* and end with */. Comments are allowed between parameters.
• If a class statement contains duplicates of the following parameters, the system uses the first valid occurrence and issues a message that a duplicate parameter was specified:
  • NAME
  • MAXVIRT(nnn)
  • multiple VOL parameters for one EDSN parameter.
• COFVLFxx parmlib members can be concatenated. When they are concatenated, a class definition can span parmlib members.
