OPTIONS: Options option z/OS MVS Program Management: User's Guide and Reference SA23-1393-00 |

Instead of providing all processing options in the PARM field,
you can create a data set containing the options. You specify the
ddname of the data set by coding the OPTIONS option in the PARM field
as follows:
OPTIONS=ddname ddname identifies a sequential data set of blocked or unblocked 80-byte records. Options are specified just as they are in the PARM field, separated by commas. Option records cannot be continued. A blank outside of a quoted string ends processing of options in that record. The options data set can contain multiple records with individual parameter sets. It cannot contain the OPTIONS option or any of the Environmental options (see Table 1. Blank records are ignored. See Options data set for information on coding the DD statement that defines the options data set. Tip: The options file does not replace the options string, but instead treats it as if the file was inserted into the options string at the point where the OPTIONS option appears.
