The DEFAULT statement specifies the default action
to be taken for a specific address space that exceeds the job threshold
message rate (JOBTHRESH / INTVLTIME) or a specific message that exceeds
the message threshold message rate (MSGLIMIT / INTVLTIME). The built-in
defaults apply otherwise. The DEFAULT statement has the following
syntax form.
The DEFAULT statement applies to the previously specified msgtype. Zero or more DEFAULT statements should follow each msgtype statement.
- action
- The default action to be taken. It can be one of the following
specifications:
- LOG | NOLOG
- Determines whether or not the message is written to the SYSLOG
or OPERLOG.
- AUTO | NOAUTO
- Determines whether or not the message is queued to an EMCS console
for automation.
- DISPLAY | NODISPLAY
- Determines whether or not the message is queued to a console for
display.
- CMD | NOCMD
- Determines whether or not the command defined by the DEFAULTCMD
statement is issued. Not valid for msgtype SPECIFIC.
- RETAIN® | NORETAIN
- Determines whether or not the message is retained by the action
message retention facility (AMRF). Not valid for msgtype REGULAR.
- IGNORE | NOIGNORE
- Determines whether or not message flood automation is to process
the message. Not valid for msgtype ACTION or REGULAR.
Note: Specifying NOLOG, NODISPLAY, and NOAUTO together results in
the message being deleted. Deleted messages are not sent to the console
address space or to other systems in the sysplex.
Syntax rules:
- The DEFAULT specification must begin in column 1 and must be separated
from the first action by a single blank character.
- The action parameter specifications are separated
by a comma. There must be no blank characters on either size of the
comma.
- Comment text may follow the last action. There must be at least
one blank character between the action and the beginning of the comment
text. There is no need to preface the comment text with either an
asterisk (*) or open comment specification (/*).
