Parameter Description for RDR(nn)

Auth=(Job=Yes|No,Device=Yes|No,System=Yes|No)

Specifies the command authority for this card reader. These values authorize certain JES2 commands to be entered at this card reader.

Job=Yes|No: Specifies that the device can (Yes) or cannot (No) issue commands which require job authority.
Device=Yes|No: Specifies that the device can (Yes) or cannot (No) issue commands which require device authority.
System=Yes|No: Specifies that the device can (Yes) or cannot (No) issue commands which require system authority.

Note: This parameter has no effect when the associated resource class and profile in RACF® 1.9 or higher are active. For more information on JES2 security, see z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide.

This parameter affects JES2 command statements only. Use the AUTH= parameter of the JOBCLASS initialization statement to specify the authorization for JCL command statements. (JES2 command statements begin with /* in columns 1 and 2. JCL command statements begin with // in columns 1 and 2.)

Modification: $T RDRnn operator command.

CLass=v|A

Specifies the default job class (A-Z,0-9) to be assigned to all jobs entered at this card reader that do not specify a job class in the CLASS operand of their JOB statements.

Modification: $T RDRnn operator command.

Hold=Yes|No

Specifies whether (Yes) or not (No) all jobs entered at this card reader are held after JCL conversion until they are released for execution by the operator.

Modification: $T RDRnn operator command.

MSGclass=v|A

Specifies the default message class (A-Z, 0-9) to be assigned to jobs entered at this card reader that do not specify a MSGCLASS operand in their JOB statements.

Modification: Operator command.

PRTDEST=jnnnnnn[.jnnnnnn]|LOCAL

Specifies the default print destination for the print output from all jobs that are entered at this card reader and that do not have a /*ROUTE statement or DEST parameter.

Modification: $T RDRnn operator command.

Note: If destid is used, it must be previously defined on a DESTDEF statement in the initialization stream.

PRIOINC=nn|0

Specifies a number (0-15) to be added to the selection priority of each job entered at this card reader. If the total of this number and a job's priority exceeds the priority level specified by the PRIOLIM= parameter, JES2 will use the priority level specified by PRIOLIM=.

Modification: $T RDRnn operator command.

PRIOLIM=nn|15

Specifies the maximum priority level (0-15) that can be assigned to jobs entered at this card reader. If a job's priority (with or without the increment specified by PRIOINC=) exceeds this level, it will be reduced to this level.

Modification: $T RDRnn operator command.

PUNDEST=jnnnnnn[.jnnnnnn]|LOCAL

Specifies the default punch destination for the punch output from all jobs that are entered at this card reader and that do not have a /*ROUTE statement or DEST parameter.

Modification: $T RDRnn operator command.

Note: If destid is used, it must be previously defined on a DESTDEF statement in the initialization stream.

START=Yes|No

START=Yes specifies that this reader (if ready) will be started automatically by JES2 after initialization and that no additional commands will be required to reactivate it when it becomes inactive. START=No specifies that this reader is initialized in the drained state. This requires that an operator command, $S RDRnn, must be issued before the first usage of the reader. In addition, after every EOF, this reader will become inactive and will require a $S RDRnn command to be reactivated.

Modification: $S RDRnn command or $P RDRnn command.

Note:

This automatic reader start feature is not available to secondary JES2 subsystems.
If the reader is to be started automatically and is unavailable when JES2 is started, it remains unusable until the next time JES2 is started unless the UNIT= keyword is specified on this device statement. If UNIT= is specified, the reader is allowed to start although it may have been offline during JES2 initialization.

TRace=Yes|No|P

Specifies tracing is activated (Yes) or deactivated (No) for all readers. To trace a reader, you must also provide the following initialization statements:

TRACE(n) START=Yes
TRACEDEF ACTIVE=Yes

Note: TRACE=Yes is identical to specifying TRACE=P.

Tracing readers is also controlled by trace IDs 11 and 12, the TRACE(n) and TRACEDEF initialization statements, and the $T RDRnn command. (See z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide, the TRACE(n) and TRACEDEF initialization statements in this chapter , and z/OS JES2 Commands for a description of the $T RDRnn command for further information concerning the tracing facility.)

Modification: $T RDRnn command.

Note: If you modify this parameter value and then restart JES2 with a hot start, the parameter value in effect before termination will be used. (For further information, see z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide.)

UNIT={hhh|/hhhh}

Specifies a 3- or 4-digit hexadecimal device number. Device numbers can be specified by any of the following formats:

UNIT=hhh
UNIT=hhhh
UNIT=/hhh
UNIT=/hhhh

where hhh and hhhh represent the device numbers.

A slash (/) can optionally precede the device number (for compatibility with other initialization statements that require a slash to denote a 4-digit device number).

If UNIT= is specified, this device is allowed to start although it may have been offline during JES2 initialization.

If you do not specify this parameter, JES2 does not assign an available reader; instead, a reader can be dynamically assigned using a $T RDRnn command.

Modification: $T RDRnn operator command.

XEQDEST=jnnnnnn

Specifies the name of the node where jobs entered on the device are to be executed.

Modification: $T RDRnn operator command.
