<h3>Release Control (RLS)</h3>
|
|
<p>Specifies whether RJE will process the rest of the current file (that is, the file from which .. READFILE was issued) after the included file is processed. If not, the file is released from the nested stack of the files being read.

<p>The possible values are:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>*NO: RJE will continue to process the current file after the included file is processed.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>*YES: RJE will not process the current file after the included file is processed. Processing reverts to the previous file. In other words, the current file is released from the nested stack of files. This improves performance, as each file left open in a nested stack has an impact on system resources. Do not specify *YES if this control statement is entered using direct-workstation input.
