Sample CLISTs

This chapter contains examples of CLISTs that illustrate the CLIST functions described in previous chapters. The examples assume that the CLISTs reside in a PDS allocated to SYSPROC.

Table 1 lists the names of the CLISTs and provides short descriptions of the functions they illustrate. Many of these CLISTs include examples of symbolic variables, control variables, built-in functions, and conditional sequences.
