SA23-1385-00

nnnnnnnn
Indicates the maximum number of sysout output cards to be punched for this job. For JES2 systems, nnnnnnnn is a value from 0 to 99999999. For JES3 systems, nnnnnnnn is a value from 0 through 6500000. If you specify a value greater than 6500000 in a JES3 system, it will be treated as 6500000.
In a JES2 system, a value of 0 for nnnnnnnn will produce an amount of output that is based on the record blocking factor. When the system recognizes that the 0 value has been exceeded, one of the following will get control:
  • The CANCEL, DUMP, or WARNING option (if coded)
  • The installation exit.

In a JES3 system, a value of 0 for nnnnnnnn will produce no output.

CANCEL
Indicates that the system is to cancel the job without dumping storage when the output for the job exceeds the maximum.
DUMP
Indicates that the system is to cancel the job when the output for the job exceeds the maximum, and requests a storage dump.
WARNING
Indicates that the job is to continue, and the system is to send a message to the operator, when the output for the job exceeds the maximum. The system issues subsequent warning messages at an interval defined by the installation.
