      <p class="para_topic">File Management statements may be abbreviated down to the first four characters as long as the abbreviation is unique relative to all other statements.  Each statement is described as follows: </p>
      <div class="title_division">Description </div>
      <p class="para_division">A brief sentence about the function of the statement is given. </p>
      <div class="title_division">Format </div>
      <p class="para_division">Describers in uppercase are keywords that must be specified as shown.  In addition, describers in lowercase indicate that the user must provide a value. </p>
      <p class="para_division">Braces { } indicate that a choice of describers is mandatory.  If the describers are stacked vertically, then only one may be specified. </p>
      <p class="para_division">Brackets [ ] indicate that a choice of describers is optional.  If the describers are stacked vertically, then only one may be specified. </p>
      <p class="para_division">Describers that are shaded indicate the defaults. </p>
      <p class="para_division">If the statement line is longer than 72 columns, then it may be continued to the next line with a comma as long as the comma is preceded by one or more spaces.  For example: </p><pre class="indent">DBLOCATE DATABLK=(KAA)  ,
   WHERE(PROJECT=&rsquo;FRONT BUMPER&rsquo; AND  ,
   SEID&gt;0 AND VERSION=4)  ,
   LOGI=MASTER3</pre><p class="para_division">However, if a filename is to be continued on the next line, no space must precede the comma, and the continuation line must have no leading spaces. </p>
      <p class="para_division">For example:</p><pre class="indent">ASSIGN     SDB=&rsquo;/jw/johannes/Projects/secret/Aero/Tests/wing/Modes/w,
ing_modal.MASTER&rsquo;</pre><p class="para_division">Note that all quotation marks shown under formats and examples are right-handed single quotation marks and must be entered as such.  For example: </p><pre class="indent">PROJ=&rsquo;MYJOB&rsquo;</pre><div class="title_division">Examples </div>
      <p class="para_division">One or more examples are given. </p>
      <div class="title_division">Describers</div>
      <p class="para_division">Each of the describers is briefly discussed.  The describer&rsquo;s type (e.g., Integer, Real, or Character), allowable range, and default value are enclosed in parentheses.  The describer must be specified by the user if no default value is given. </p>
      <div class="title_division">Remarks </div>
      <p class="para_division">The remarks are generally arranged in order of importance and indicate such things as the FMS statement&rsquo;s relationship to other commands, restrictions and recommendations on its use, and further descriptions of the describers. </p><a class="refTopicLinkL1" href="03ref33329_6.html">WHERE and CONVERT Clauses </a><br>
