FULLSTEP keyword

The FULLSTEP keyword specifies whether OPC continues to process the pointer verification data collected from an online DEDB area.

FULLSTEP is an optional keyword that is used together with the TYPRUN keyword for the following statements:

  • ANALYZE statement of OPC
  • PTRCHK statement of OER
Format:
Read syntax diagramSkip visual syntax diagramFULLSTEP=NOYES
NO (or N)
OPC provides a fast scan of database integrity and collects the pointer verification data.
YES (or Y)
Depends on the TYPRUN keyword parameter as follows:
  • When TYPRUN=PTRALL, OPC checks cross-reference of pointers.
  • When TYPRUN=RPT, OPC performs all the functions executed in FULLSTEP=YES and TYPRUN=PTRALL mode, and produces complete analysis reports.
  • When TYPRUN=FS, OPC produces free space analysis reports.
Default:
NO, if the FULLSTEP keyword is not specified.
Site default support:
Supported.
Restrictions:
  • The FULLSTEP keyword can be specified only in FPXIN.
  • A specification of YES is mutually exclusive with TYPRUN=PTRSCAN or TYPRUN=MODEL.
