CSALIMITS and NOCSALIMITS: Specifying whether to use CSA limiting for MWE allocation

Explanation: CSALIMITS | NOCSALIMITS are mutually exclusive, optional parameters that you use to specify whether common service area (CSA) limiting of management work element (MWE) storage allocation is to be used during DFSMShsm processing. The MWE describes a requested function to be performed by DFSMShsm.
Note: DFSMShsm acquires storage in extended CSA (ECSA) for MWE's. Since DFSMShsm is using ECSA, more CSA storage is available for other applications

CSALIMITS specifies the values for CSA storage allocation used during DFSMShsm processing.

The subparameters of the CSALIMITS parameter follow this discussion in alphabetical order. These optional subparameters are:

NOCSALIMITS specifies that CSA limiting should not be done during DFSMShsm processing.

SMS relationship: Parameter has the same meaning when applied to SMS-managed or non-SMS-managed DASD volumes or data sets.

SETSYS default: None.

DFSMShsm default: If you do not specify this parameter on any SETSYS command, the DFSMShsm default is CSALIMITS.
