Subparameter definition
- 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.
