DQSCHEME Procedure
APPLY Statement
Applies a scheme to transform the values of a single variable.
| See: | Applying Schemes for additional information. |
Syntax
Optional Arguments
LOCALE=locale-name
specifies the name of the match definition, in the specified locales, that is used to create match codes that run the application of the scheme.
MATCH-DEFINITION=match-definition
specifies the name of the match definition, in the specified locales, that is used to create match codes that run the application of the scheme.
MODE=ELEMENT | PHRASE
specifies a mode of scheme application. This information is stored in the scheme as metadata, which specifies a default mode when the scheme is applied. The default mode is superseded by a mode in the APPLY statement, or in the DQSCHEMEAPPLY function or CALL routine. See Applying Schemes.
ELEMENT
specifies that each element in each value of the input character variable is compared to the data values in the scheme. When SCHEME_LOOKUP = USE_MATCHDEF, the match code for each element is compared to match codes generated for each element, in each DATA variable value in the scheme.
PHRASE
this default value specifies that the entirety of each value of the input character variable is compared to the data values in the scheme. When SCHEME_LOOKUP = USE_MATCHDEF, the match code for the entire input value is compared to match codes that are generated for each data value in the scheme.
SCHEME=scheme-name
identifies the scheme to apply to the input data set. In all the operating environments
other than z/OS, schemes using QKB scheme file format are identified
by specifying a fileref or a fully qualified name that ends in .sch.bfd.
SCHEME_LOOKUP =EXACT | IGNORE_CASE | USE_MATCHDEF
specifies the method of applying the scheme to the data values of the input variable.
SENSITIVITY=sensitivity-level
specifies the amount of information in the resulting match codes.
VAR=variable-name
specifies the name of the variable that is analyzed and transformed.
