The following REXX variable is input to HZSLSTOP:
Table 1. HZSLSTOP input variable
Variable name Description
HZS_HANDLE IBM® Health Checker for z/OS® sets this variable to the correct value when it calls a REXX check. Your REXX check must not modify HZS_HANDLE. The HZS_HANDLE is used to synchronize the check and IBM Health Checker for z/OS, because they do not run in the same address space. If the HZSLSTOP function is used within a REXX procedure, make sure you used for example the EXPOSE procedure option to make HZS_HANDLE accessible to the procedure code.
HZS_PQE_CHKWORK Current value of the PQE_CHKWORK area. Only a maximum of 2048 characters HZS_PQE_CHKWORK will be saved and restored. HZS_PQE_CHCKWORK is reset before the check is run for the following reasons:
  • When the check is to run for the first time.
  • When the check is REFRESHed.
  • When the check becomes either INACTIVE or DISABLED for any reason besides invalid parameters.
