This describes the format in a qualified name is passed when a command is run using REXX.
When a command is run using REXX, a qualified name is passed to the command processing program just as the value is entered for the parameter. Trailing blanks are not passed.
For example, if a display station user enters the following for the QUAL statements defined previously in this section:
NAME(USER/A)
the qualified name is passed to the command processing program in the following format:
NAME(USER/A)
Qualifiers are passed to the command processing program consecutively by their types and length just as single parameter values are passed.
If the display station user enters *NONE as the single value, the following 20-character value is passed:
NAME(*NONE)
The following example shows how a display station user would enter a simple list of qualified names:
NAME(QGPL/A USER/B)
Using REXX, the name parameter would be passed to the command processing program as the following:
NAME(QGPL/A USER/B)
