The complete GCOS 7 document set is available on one CD disk. This product is

The following conventions are used for presenting GCL (and JCL) command
syntax.
ITEM An item in upper case is a literal value, to be specified
as shown. The upper case is merely a convention; in
practice you can specify the item in upper or lower
case.
item An item in lower case is a non-literal, indicating that a
user-supplied value is expected.
In most cases it gives the type and maximum length of
the value:
char105 a string of up to 105 alphanumeric
characters
name31 a name of up to 31 characters
lib78 a library name of up to 78 characters
file78 a file name of up to 78 characters
star31 a star name of up to 31 characters
In some cases, it gives the format of the value:
a a single alphabetic character
nnn a 3-digit number
hh.mm a time in hours and minutes
In other cases, it is simply descriptive of the value:
device-class
condition
ITEM An underlined item is a default value. It is the value
assumed if none is specified.
bool A boolean value which is either 1 or 0. A boolean
parameter can be specified by its keyword alone,
optionally prefixed by "N". Specifying the keyword
alone always sets the value to 1. Prefixing the keyword
with "N" always sets it to 0.

{ } Braces indicate a choice of values. Only one can be
selected.
[ ] Square brackets indicate that the enclosed item is
optional. An item not enclosed in square brackets is
mandatory.
( ) Parentheses indicate that a single value or a list of
values can be specified. A list of values must be
enclosed by parentheses, with each value separated by
a comma or a space.
... Ellipses indicate that the item concerned can be
specified more than once.
+ = $ * / - . Literal characters to be specified as shown.
EXAMPLE 1:
[ { IMMED } ]
[ WHEN = { [dd.mm.yy.]. hh.mm } ]
[ { +nnnn{W|D|H|M} } ]
❑
This means you can specify:
1. Nothing at all (WHEN=IMMED applies).
2. WHEN = IMMED (the same as nothing at all).
3. WHEN = 22.30 to specify a time (and today’s date).
4. WHEN = 10.11.87.22.30 to specify a date and time.
5. WHEN = +0002W to specify 2 weeks from now.
6. WHEN = +0021D to specify 21 days from now.
7. WHEN = +005H to specify 5 hours from now.
8. WHEN = +0123M to specify 123 minutes from now.
EXAMPLE 2:
PAGES = (dec4[-dec4][,dec4] ...)
❑
Indicates that PAGES must be specified. Valid entries are a single value, or a list of
values enclosed in parentheses. The list can consist of single values separated by a
comma, a range of values separated by a hyphen, or a combination of both. For
example: PAGES = (2,4,10-25,33-36,78,83).

47 A2 53US Rev03 vii
EXAMPLE 3:
[ REPLACE = { bool | 0 } ]
❑
This is a boolean parameter whose default value is zero. You can specify:
1. Nothing at all (REPLACE = 0 applies)
2. REPLACE = 0 or simply NREPLACE
3. REPLACE = 1 or simply REPLACE
