Resolution

Though is is presented in the View Reference Guide as though the subfields of a SARDBASE ADDDS control statement can be on different lines, unfortunately that is not the case. 

 

The SARDBASE control statements must be coded on a single card image between columns 1 and 71. 

 

All of the ADDDS keywords can be abbreviated to the fewest number of characters that make them unique. 

Abbreviating the keywords should allow for all of them to be kept on the same line.

 

With that, statement: 

 

ADDDS UNIT=3390 VOLSER=vvvvvv CYL=100 INDEX 

 DATACLAS=NONSMS 

 MGMTCLAS=NONSMS 

 STORCLAS=NONSMS 

 

 should be coded as: 

 

 ADDDS U=3390 V=vvvvvv C=100 INDEX D=NONSMS M=NONSMS S=NONSMS
