CHANGE
This parameter defines test specifications for a logical processing
function with change mode criteria.
Syntax CRITERIA CHANGE = option(s)
Options Table 7-3 lists the parameter option(s) and definition(s).
There is no default.
Table 7-3. CHANGE parameter option(s) and definition(s)
Option(s) Definition(s)
offset The offset in bytes (relative to zero) from the start of
the user’s portion of the record to the control field
within the record or from the start of the physical tape
block to the control field within the block.
length The length in bytes of the control field. Its range is 1
to 255.
NE Indicates not equal to.
LAST Indicates that the control field of the current record
(or block) is being compared to the control field of the
previous (last encountered) record (or block). If a
control field of the current record (or block) is less
than the specified length, the comparison is not done
and the test fails. (For online and HIP jobs, where
trailing blanks are truncated by the host, control fields
which are less than the specified length may be
padded with blanks so that a comparison can be
done. If you are using a value less than the length
specified, or if the number is the same but less than
zero, the values are not internally the same and thus,
the test is met.)
