nnnnnnnn
Indicates the maximum amount of output, in pages, to be printed for this job. The value for nnnnnnnn is 0 through 99999999.
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.
