Specifies whether or not an option list for the session is to be printed at the operator console at the start of the session. If you specify OPTIONS, the list is printed, and you can respond with any desired changes, except to the MEMBER option, from the operator console.

If you do not want to make any changes, you should specify NOOPTIONS. This saves time when starting the session. However, if RMF™ detects any syntax errors while processing session options, OPTIONS is forced.

Figure 1 shows the console output produced when OPTIONS is in effect and seven data sets are specified for data set recording. (See Controlling data set recording.)

The keywords on the right in the console output indicate from which source the current value for each option was taken. The meanings of the keywords are:

Table 1. Monitor III OPTIONS Command Sources
Keyword Source from which option was taken
COMMAND A START or MODIFY command.
DEFAULT The program defaults.
EXEC The EXEC statement in the RMF cataloged procedure.
CHANGED RMF changed a conflicting option. A message describes the conflict and the change RMF made.
MEMBER The RMF Parmlib member.
REPLY From the operator console in reply to message ERB306I.
