<UL><LI>Syntax Checker is a new addition to the IMS installation process. Syntax Checker helps reduce the system generation effort by assisting the system programmers in defining and maintaining selected input parameter members residing in the IMS PROCLIB. It provides parameter syntax checking, parameter value verification and detailed help text at the parameter level tailored to the IMS release. It also provides assistance in migrating to a new release by identifying any new and/or obsolete parameters. Syntax Checker displays the proclib member in an ISPF panel. Any parameters or values in error are highlighted. The user may add, change or correct the value of the parameters. Detailed help text for a parameter is also available at the touch of a key. Using Syntax Checker, the system programmer can ensure the parameters are valid prior to shutting down and restarting IMS control regions. It eliminates the risk of parameter error during a start-up of IMS and the time-consuming process of tracking down and correcting parameter syntax or value errors. </UL>
