ENDINP (End Input)

ENDINP Command syntax diagram

 

Purpose

The End Input (//ENDINP) command is a delimiter that indicates the end of the input in a batch input stream. The //ENDINP command also can indicate the end of an inline data file if the command is detected while the inline file is being processed. If the inline file is using ending characters which are not defaults, the //ENDINP command is embedded without being recognized.

Restriction: The ENDINP command cannot be used from a work station. Two slashes must precede this command name when entering it in the data record, that is, //ENDINP. The user can separate the slashes from this command name with blank spaces, for example, //  ENDINP.

There are no parameters for this command.

Example for ENDINP

//BCHJOB
*

//DATA

//ENDINP

The ENDINP command indicates the end of a input stream that began with the Batch Job (BCHJOB) command.
