Considerations for started tasks and TSO LOGONs

Output limits for TSO/E transmits can be set by TSO/E using the TSO/E OUTLIM= parameter. JES2 also sets a limit internally. When SYSOUT is transmitted in the foreground for started tasks and TSO/E LOGONs, the member uses the lower of these two limits. JES2 sets the following output limits for started tasks and TSO LOGONs:

999,999 for cards, pages and 1000s of lines.
2,147,483 (in 1000s of bytes) for spool utilization.

An installation can change the limits for started tasks or TSO LOGONs by using JES2 Exit 20 to change the limit for each particular started task or TSO LOGONs The limit for TSO/E transmits which are specified thorough the OUTLIM parameter, should not be greater than the limit JES2 sets for punches or a X'722' abend will occur. See z/OS TSO/E Customization for information about limiting the TSO/E TRANSMIT command.
