3.
EXEC
procedures having a synonym defined
for
them
can
be
invoked
by
its synonym if implied
EXEC
(IMPEX)
function is on. However, within
an
EXEC
procedure, only the
EXEC
filename
can
be
used. A

not
recognized within an
EXEC
since the
synonym tables are
not
searched during
EXEC
processing.

the
synonym table using
an
editor. The table must
be
a file with
the
filetype
SYNONYM.

file consists
of
80-byte
fixed-length
records in free-form format with columns
73-80
ignored.
The
format for each record is:
systemcommand usersynonym
count
Where:
systemcommand
is
the
name
of
the
CMS
command
or
MODULE
or
EXEC
file for which
you
are creating a synonym.
user
synonym
is
the
synonym
you
are assigning
to
the
command name.
When
you
create
the
synonym,
you
must follow
the
same
syntax rules as
for
commands;
that
is, you must use
the
character set used
to
create commands, the synonym may
be
no
longer
than
eight characters,
and
so on.
