WFL jobs can be initiated through MARC from the action line of a screen that includes “COmnd” as one of the screen action hints displayed on line 3, or from the command input screen, which provides an entry field 15 lines long.
Any WFL statements or a complete WFL job can be initiated from MARC by entering the word WFL before the statements. The BEGIN JOB and END JOB constructs can be omitted. However, jobs submitted in this way cannot include data specifications or a STARTTIME specification.
| Note: | If WFL control options are included, they must be followed by a semicolon (;). If any job parameters are included, the job can be compiled for syntax only. |
Three WFL statements are recognized by MARC and passed to WFL even if they are not preceded by WFL. Each statement has the same syntax when it is used in a WFL job. These statements include:
-
START
-
COPY
-
ADD
Jobs initiated through the START statement can include all of the WFL constructs defined in this manual. Initiating a WFL job with any of the above statements causes MARC to enter tasking mode and display the task status screen. Refer to the MARC Operations Guide for information about how to display and control task progress from tasking mode.
