This document covers the following topics:

Function
Restriction
Syntax Description

For an explanation of the symbols used in the syntax diagram, see Syntax Symbols.

Function

The PROCESS statement is used in conjunction with Entire System Server. Entire System Server allows you to use various operating system facilities such as reading and writing files, VTOC and catalog management, JES queues, etc.

See the section Getting Started in the Entire System Server User's Guide for further information on the PROCESS statement and its individual clauses.

Restriction

This statement is only available with Entire System Server.

Syntax Description

Operand Definition Table:

Operand	Possible Structure		Possible Formats					Referencing Permitted	Dynamic Definition
`operand1`	C	S	A		N	P	B	yes	no
`operand2`	C	S	A	U	N	P	B	yes	no
`operand3`		S	A		N	P	B	yes	no

Syntax Element Description:

view-name Name of the view used by Entire System Server.

`view-name`	Name of the view used by Entire System Server.
USING	The `USING` clause is used to pass parameters to the Entire System Server processor. This is done by assigning a value (`operand2`) to a field (`operand1`) in a view defined to Entire System Server. See the Entire System Server documentation for view description. Note: Multiple specifications of `operand1`=`operand2` must be separated either by the input delimiter character (as specified with the session parameter `ID`) or by a comma. A comma must not be used for this purpose, however, if the comma is defined as decimal character (with the session parameter `DC`).
GIVING	The `GIVING` clause is used to specify the fields (`operand3`) for which values are to be returned by the Entire System Server processor. Each field must be defined in a view used by Entire System Server.
