Modifying DEVICE and LINK statements

To modify most LINK statement parameters (and any DEVICE statement parameters), you must first delete and then redefine the LINK or DEVICE statement.

However, the following LINK statement parameters are dynamically modifiable:

To modify these parameters on a LINK statement, use a VARY TCPIP,,OBEYFILE command with a data set that contains a LINK statement for an existing link name which has new values for these parameters.

Guidelines:
  • Any changes to non-modifiable parameters are ignored.
  • If any modifiable parameters are not specified, prior values remain in effect for these parameters.
