Defining keyword operand names

Use a series of IKJNAME macro instructions to indicate the possible names for a keyword operand. One IKJNAME macro instruction is needed for each possible keyword name. Code the IKJNAME macro instructions immediately following the IKJKEYWD macro instruction to which they pertain.

Figure 1 shows the format of the IKJNAME macro instruction. Each of the operands is explained following the figure.

Figure 1. The IKJNAME macro instruction (when used with the IKJKEYWD macro instruction)

IKJNAME     'keyword-name'[,SUBFLD=subfield-name]
            [,INSERT='keyword-string']
            [,ALIAS=('name','name',...)]

keyword-name: One of the valid keyword operands for the IKJKEYWD macro instruction that precedes this IKJNAME macro instruction.
SUBFLD=subfield-name: This option indicates that this keyword name has other operands associated with it. Use the subfield-name as the label field of the IKJSUBF macro instruction that begins the description of the possible operands in the subfield. See Using IKJSUBF to describe a keyword subfield for a description of the IKJSUBF macro instruction.
INSERT=‘keyword-string’: The use of some keyword operands implies that other keyword operands are required. The Parse Service Routine inserts the keyword string specified into the command string just as if it had been entered as part of the original command string. The command buffer is not altered.
ALIAS=(‘name’,‘name’,…): specifies up to 32 alias names for a keyword. Each name represents a valid abbreviation or alternate name and must be enclosed in quotes. All abbreviations or names must be enclosed in a single set of parentheses.
Parse automatically accepts a keyword abbreviation if the abbreviation is distinguishable from the other keywords of the command or subcommand. Therefore, parse does not require you to code unambiguous abbreviations as alias names.
