Startup options are used to set the properties of the Gateway daemon JVM, such as heap size and Java™ properties.
JVM options can be specified in the parameters passed to the ctgstart command using the PARM string on the EXEC PGM=CTGBATCH section of the JCL, or using the CTGSTART_OPTS environment variable. Each JVM option must be prefixed with -j.
CTGSTART_OPTS=-j-Xmx512M
The parameter list for the CTGSTART_OPTS environment variable can exceed 100 characters. For more information see Environment variables: remote mode.
