Job Control Word Commands 

Several MPE XL commands are available that allow you to set, alter, or
display JCWs.  These are:

:SETJCW 

This command adds a JCW to the variable table, or alters the value of an
existing variable.  The value must fall within the valid range for a JCW,
that is, in the range 0 through 65535.

Command syntax is as follows:

     :SETJCW jcwname delimiter [+ or -] value 

The jcwname parameter can contain the name of a new or existing
user-defined or system-defined JCW. You can use @ to specify all
currently defined JCWs.

The delimiter can be one or more punctuation characters or spaces, except
for % or -.  The value parameter must be one of the following:

   1.  An octal number between 0 and %177777.

   2.  A decimal number between 0 and 65,535.

   3.  An MPE XL-defined JCW value mnemonic, or an offset value of a
       mnemonic.

   4.  The name of an existing JCW.

:SHOWJCW 

This command displays the specified JCW or JCWs in the variable table.

:SHOWJCW, entered without parameters, displays all user-defined and
system-defined JCWs currently in effect.  The optional parameter jcwname 
must be the name of a valid JCW.

For more information and full syntax descriptions for the above commands,
refer to the MPE XL Commands Reference Manual (32650-90003).


NOTE There is no DELETE intrinsic or command that applies specifically to Job Control Words. Since a JCW is a type of variable, you can use the HPCIDELETEVAR intrinsic or the :DELETEVAR command to delete it.
