Call whatever module that looks for another DD prefix command and, when it
doesn't find one, sets this one PENDING again. The equivalent action in a
macro is like:
Parse Arg 'PREFIX SET ' line
'COMMAND EXTRACT /PENDING DD'
If pending.0 = 0 Then Do
'COMMAND LOCATE :' line
'COMMAND SET PENDING ON DD'
End
Else /* do whatever here to process the pair */
