RUN command
Use the RUN command to compile, load, and execute the source statements in a data set. The RUN command is designed specifically for use with certain licensed programs. It selects and invokes the particular licensed program needed to process the source statements in the data set that you specify. Table 1 shows which licensed program is selected to process each type of source statement.
| Source | Licensed program |
|---|---|
| Assembler | Assembler (F) |
| COBOL | OS/VS COBOL Release 2.4 |
| FORTRAN | FORTRAN IV (G1) |
| PLI | PL/I Checkout Compiler or PL/I Optimizing Compiler |
| VSBASIC | VSBASIC |
The RUN command and the RUN subcommand of EDIT perform the same basic function.
