The syntax for the ADARUN statement and parameters is:

where parameter=value is one of the ADARUN parameters described in this section. Multiple parameter=value entries separated by commas may be included in a statement. The comma following the last parameter=value entry of a statement is ignored.

All parameter=value entries must end before position 73. Any parameter=value entries that would extend beyond position 72 must be coded on a new statement. Positions 73-80 are ignored.

The literal "ADARUN" must be entered in positions 1-6 of each ADARUN statement. Any number of blanks is permitted between "ADARUN" and the first parameter, but no blanks are permitted within the parameter=value string. A blank following a parameter=value entry indicates the end of the statement.

An asterisk (*) in position 1 indicates a user comment line.

The first ADARUN statement cannot continue beyond position 72. The second statement represents a continuation of the first statement. All ADARUN continuation statements have the same format and restrictions as the first statement.

The ADARUN parameters are summarized in the following table, and described in detail in the sections following the table.

Unless noted otherwise, each parameter has a default value that ADARUN uses if the parameter is not specified.

Some parameter names can be abbreviated. The minimum acceptable abbreviation for a given parameter is shown by the underlined part of the parameter name. Parameter names shown without underlining cannot be abbreviated.
