input


dsname

The dataset name. The name should be enclosed in quotes if it contains any of the following: blank, comma, colon, quote, equal sign.

This means in practice that the quotes are required on a Vax for all dataset access outside the home disk. On VM/CMS, the blanks between file-name and file-type (and perhaps file-mode) may be replaced by dots, thus avoiding the need to add the quotes.

Double quotes should be used when case is important, e.g. on Unix systems.


label

A string of up to 80 characters.

If this string is found at the start of a line in the input file, the file is closed and reading continues from the previously opened file.

Specifying EOF as label implies the file is read until the end of the physical file.

["EOF" is default]
