APPENDIX1.2.1.1.2 Syntax Checking



You can have each line of input checked for proper syntax. The system checks the syntax of statements for data sets having FORT descriptive qualifiers. Input lines are collected within the system until a complete statement is available for checking.

   When an error is found during syntax checking, an appropriate error 
   message is issued and edit mode is entered. You can then take corrective 
   action, using the subcommands. When you want to resume input operations, 
   press the Enter key. Input mode is then entered and you can continue where 
   you left off.  Whenever statements are being checked for syntax during 
   input mode, the system prompts you for each line to be entered unless you 
   specify the NOPROMPT operand for the INPUT subcommand.
