NOOP(1)

NAME

     noop -  do nothing

SYNOPSIS

     noop
      [-v] [argument= value ...]

DESCRIPTION

     noop does nothing.  The strategy module can be  useful  with
     the module driver interfaces for integration testing.

     Running the module with the verbose flag (-v) set is  almost
     equivalent  to running with the standard module very verbose
     (-V) flag: all the parsed input and output dataset name com-
     ponents  available  to  the module params list are echoed to
     the history channel.  All the other  standard  switches  for
     modules  apply, although the -a flag is irrelevant, since no
     output data set is created.  Running with  the  -s  flag  is
     particularly pointless.

OPTIONS

     in=Dataset_Name     NO DEFAULT

     out=Dataset_Name    (Default: value of in)

EXAMPLES

     noop -pdv  in=  prog:mdi,level:lev2,series:limb_figure[1350-
     1353] out= /tmp/

     should place the parsed dataset names and  other  components
     of  the  parameters  keylist  on  the  file /tmp/history  It
     doesn't work as it should however.

DIAGNOSTICS

BUGS

     When run by a pe most of the actual verbose output is lost.

     When run with the -pd switches the module  is  not  truly  a
     no-op, since it can force data to be actually retrieved from
     the DSDS archive and staged to disk.
