Using a PARMLIB DD statement to specify options

You can specify run-time options with an optional PARMLIB DD statement in the NPF FSS writer start procedure.

This statement points to a sequential data set or partitioned data set member. It must contain fixed 80-byte records (RECFM=F or FB, LRECL=80). Each record in this data set can be a string of options from 1 to 80 bytes long. Each option should be separated by a comma with no blanks between. Options must start in column 1.

For example,

      //IEFPROC   EXEC   PGM=EZAPPFS,REGION=3M
      //PARMLIB   DD     DSN=USER1.SOURCE(INPARM),DISP=SHR
      //STEPLIB   DD     DSN=TCPIP.V3R2.LOAD,DISP=SHR
        ...

where USER1.SOURCE(INPARM) might contain:

       ESTAE-SDUMP=NO
       SPIN=GROUP
