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.
