determines the range of variables specified by the ARGS operand. See
“Frequently Occurring Operands,” at the beginning of this section, for more
information.
SEGMENT
specifies the amount of data (in bytes) to be put into the variables specified.
See “Frequently Occurring Operands,” at the beginning of this section, for
more information.
VARS
specifies a list of variables to be passed to the started NCL process. In the started
NCL process, the variables &1 through &n, where n represents the number of
variables generated, contain the corresponding values of the variables passed. The
&SYS.ALLPARMS system variable in the started NCL process contains the values
of the variables, separated by spaces. The &SYS.PARMCNT system variable
contains the number of variables generated.
output-vars-list
specifies which variables are to be used. Multiple variables must be enclosed
in parentheses and separated by commas.

MDO=&
mdo-name
specifies an MDO variable to be passed to the started NCL process. The &$PRM.
MDO variable in the started NCL process holds the mapped data. The
&SYS.ALLPARMS system variable contains a null value.
ENV
specifies the environment in which the NCL process is to execute.
