Modifies the runtime environment of user-defined commands
and command files. It is used within the body of a user command
to set up and change the environment dynamically. (Native Mode) Syntax | |
OPTION [{ LIST NOLIST }] [,] [{ RECUR NORECURSION }] Operation Notes | |
The OPTION
command modifies the environment of user-defined commands (UDCs)
and command files, giving users more flexibility in modifying the
user command environment. When OPTION
appears in a user command header, it is static and affects the entire
command. The LIST/NOLIST
option specifies whether command lines in a UDC are printed before
execution of each command. RECURSION/ NORECURSION
determines the search order for commands cataloged. RECURSION
starts the UDC search at the beginning of the cataloged commands.
NORECURSION,
the default setting, starts the search at the command currently
executing. RECURSION
and NORECURSION
do not have any meaning in a command file, because command files
are not cataloged. The default is NORECURSION. Nesting of IF and WHILE blocks in UDC's is limited to a combined
total of 30 levels. Each IF or WHILE block read by the Command Interpreter
increments the nesting count even if it resides within a different
UDC. It is especially important to remember this when using the
recursion option which may make it easy
to increment the nesting count beyond 30. Use | |
This command is available in a session, job, program, or in
BREAK. Pressing Break has no
effect on this command. Example | |
