Runtime options

Start of change The runtime options that can be modified at the system or region level are described in the format specific to CEEPRMxx, CEEROPT and CELQROPT. You do not have to specify all of the options, and abbreviations are not permitted. End of change

IBM-supplied default keywords are indicated for planning information only and appear above the main path or options path in the syntax diagrams. In the parameter list, IBM-supplied default choices are underlined.

Some of these runtime options descriptions refer to the severity of conditions. The values that can occur as condition token severity codes, and their meanings, are as follows:

0: An informational message (or, if the entire token is zero, no information).
1: An attention message. Service completed, probably correctly.
2: An error message. Correction attempted. Service completed, perhaps incorrectly.
3: A severe error message. Service not completed.
4: A critical error message. Service not completed and condition signaled. A critical error is a condition that jeopardizes the environment. If a critical error occurs during a Language Environment callable service, it is always signaled to the condition manager instead of being returned synchronously to the caller.
