RANGE

To perform a range test, specify the check item TYPE attribute as RANGE. A range check allows you to check a value within a numeric range including the end points. The PARM1 attribute specifies the lower bound; PARM2 specifies the upper bound. The range delimiters can include 16 digits, and may contain a preceding sign (- or +).

Here is an example where a range check for a NUMERIC variable class ensures that catalog numbers are in the range 50 to 90000000:

<!doctype dm system>

<varclass name=catnumc type='NUMERIC 8'>
  <checkl msg=liba005>
    <checki type=range parm1=50 parm2=90000000>
  </checkl>

The conversion utility generates an ISPF range verification statement in the )PROC section.
