retained-page-definitions

This single-valued attribute specifies the maximum number of page definitions that PSF retains in virtual storage between print jobs.

ISPF field name

Retained page definitions

Allowed values

You can enter a value from 0 to 32767. The default value is 6.

Usage guidelines

• When PSF retains page definitions, PSF does not need to reload the same page definitions for subsequent jobs. However, retaining page definitions requires additional virtual storage.
• This value overrides the reasonable resource loading value (RRLV) for page definitions that you can specify in the PSF Exit 7 initialization call.
• For information about RRLVs, see PSF for z/OS: Customization.
