Syntax


   .-AUTOMOUNT TRUE-------.   
>>-+----------------------+------------------------------------><
   '-AUTOMOUNT--+-TRUE--+-'   
                '-FALSE-'

Parameters

TRUE: Permits unmounted DASD volumes to be mounted automatically. This is the default.
FALSE: Prevents unmounted DASD volumes from being mounted automatically.

AUTOMOUNT TRUE

Usage notes

If AUTOMOUNT is allowed, FTP attempts to mount volumes, if necessary, to obtain temporary storage for load module transfers. Otherwise, the load module transfers fails with an allocation failed message if sufficient temporary storage is not already mounted and available.
When transferring load modules, this parameter also controls whether or not the system attempts to mount additional temporary volumes if there is insufficient temporary DASD available and mounted to fulfill a load module transfer request.
