Running MAKEUSER In Batch Mode

In batch mode, MAKEUSER

  • Restricts input data to columns 1 through 72

  • Accepts continuation records that do not include input that cannot be split across cards such as

    • Individual identifiers

    • Numbers

    • Strings

  • Assigns sequence numbers based on

    • The 8 digits contained in columns 73 through 80

    • A value that is one higher than the previous sequence number

  • Reads input data from the input device and writes to a printer file

  • Sets the task attribute TASKVALUE to 0 if there were errors, and sets the task attribute to 1 otherwise. Errors ignored because the IGNORE option is set still result in the TASKVALUE attribute being set to 0.
