Your statement should be contained within columns 1 through 71.

If your statement will not fit in this range, you must have a character in column 72 to indicate that your statement continues on more than one line.

A statement that continues on more than one line must contain only a single command.

Continued statements must begin in column 1, if column 71 on the previous line is blank.

A statement can use up to a 38 lines.

You can use a maximum of 255 blanks to separate commands and keywords.

Before you run a job to create an event marker, be sure that the PowerExchange Logger is active.

A PowerExchange Logger failure could cause the logger to stop while running an event marker job. In this case, the control statements processed prior to the failure are still accepted. Conversely, the control statement that is in progress when the PowerExchange Logger fails, and the subsequent control statements, cause the event marker utility to abend.

Take care if running this command while the PowerExchange active log is receiving other log records for the source object that the marker affects. This can mix the event marker in with the other records, producing unexpected results.

When the utility successfully records the event marker record in the PowerExchange log, the utility displays message DTLEDM175016I. This message provides the RBA of the event marker record within the log. You may need the RBA to reference that record.

This utility obtains the name of the PowerExchange Logger that it accesses from the default options module,

EDMSDIR
