	       Click here to view figure.
Programmers who are accustomed to specifying several parameters when
using the RUN command will need to note the following.  The only
parameters of the RUN command that can be used with implied RUN are
;INFO= and ;PARM=.  Neither parameter is required, of course.

Examples of acceptable implied RUN command lines are:

|      :TESTPRG3;INFO="USER1";PARM=2                              |
