Subparameter definition
- 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.
