Syntax and parameters of the DEFAULT statement

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.
