Displaying and modifying runtime options with the CLER transaction

Start of changeThe CICS® transaction CLER allows you to display all the current Language Environment runtime options for a region, and to modify a subset of these options. The CLER transaction can be used to:End of change

The CLER transaction is conversational; it presents the user with commands for the terminal display. The runtime options that can be modified with this transaction are only in effect for the duration of the running region.

The CLER transaction must be defined in the CICS CSD (CICS System Definition file). The following definitions are required, and are in the Language Environment CEECCSD job in the SCEESAMP data set. Use the CEECCSD job to activate these definitions, or you must define them dynamically with the CICS CEDA transaction.
  DEFINE PROGRAM(CEL4RTO) GROUP(CEE) LANGUAGE(ASSEMBLER) EXECKEY(CICS)
  DEFINE MAPSET(CELCLEM) GROUP(CEE)
  DEFINE MAPSET(CELCLRH) GROUP(CEE)
  DEFINE TRANS(CLER) PROG(CEL4RTO) GROUP(CEE)             
Note: If the runtime option ALL31 is modified to OFF, the stack is forced to BELOW. When the stack is modified to BELOW, it will remain below for the duration of the region, even if you set ALL31 back to ON. A warning message, asking if you want to continue, is presented on the panel if the runtime option ALL31 is set to OFF or CBLPSHPOP, RPTOPTS, and RPTSTG are set to ON.

To send the runtime option report to the CESE queue for output display or printing, press PF10 on the panel which displays the runtime option report.

For detailed information on the use of CLER, select PF1 from the main menu that is displayed when the CLER transaction is invoked.
