Runlist Directives

There are no directives specific to the Runlist function; however you can use the mfims imsdbu directives listed below.

Any directives entered for Runlist are passed to the functions that Runlist is executing. When processing functions using Runlist, the sequence for processing directives is:

1. IMSDBU programmed defaults.
2. Directives in the .INI file override the programmed defaults.
3. When starting Runlist from the interactive screen, any directives from the Runlist entry screen override the previous directives.
4. When starting Runlist from the command line, any directives entered on the Runlist command line override the previous directives.
5. Directives specified for a function in the Runlist command file take precedence over all other directives.

The Makelist function adds directives to the function commands in its output Runlist command file. It only adds directives which are specific to a function. Any changes to the .INI file directives between the Makelist and the Runlist will not affect the function directives in the Runlist command file. Makelist does not add any common directives. For example, the LIST, LOG, and ECHO directives. The common directives used by Runlist are the ones active when starting Runlist - not when creating the command file using Makelist.

You can add common directives to the Runlist command file if you want to ensure that changes to the .INI file directives will not affect the operation of Runlist.
