Hi, David:

Also, CHGVAR, DCLF, DO, ENDDO, IF, RCVF, RETURN, SNDF, SNDRCVF, among others. (Also, all of the command definition language commands and binder language commands.)

Issue a DSPCMD for these, versus ones you know can run anywhere, to see what is different about their definitions. For example:
DSPCMD IF
shows:
Where allowed to run . . : *BPGM *IPGM

while:
DSPCMD DSPCMD
shows:
Where allowed to run . . : *IMOD *BMOD *IREXX
*BREXX *BPGM *IPGM
*EXEC *INTERACT *BATCH

I think this is as close as you can get, by just examining the attributes of the *CMD object itself.

The definitive way to find out is to create an OPM CL *PGM and compile it with GENOPT(*LIST) and examine the generated MI assembly language instruction listing. The "compile time only" CL commands generate "in-line" code to perform data movement, comparison, arithmetic, and conditional branching, etc., and only sometimes call a runtime routine. All the others generate:

CALLX ?WWLISEPT(00277),?WCLCAARG,*; /* call QCAPARSE */

to parse and process the command.

HTH,

Mark S. Waterbury

Folks:

Does anyone know if there is an easy way to identify commands, based on attributes, that actually execute programs vs. those that are just used for CL programs?

Example:

PGM, ENDPGM,& DCL are programming only commands.
RTVJOBA, CRTPGM, DLTF are executable commands.

Thanks!

david
