Remove SDI from the OPTIONS initialization statement
Description
In z/OS V2R1, JES3 has removed the option to turn off Spool Data Integrity (SDI) functionality. If JES3 encounters the SDI keyword, command processing stops and a message is issued.
If SDI is specified in the inish deck, the system issues the following message, and JES3 initialization continues: IAT3256 SDI KEYWORD IGNORED, NO LONGER SUPPORTED. If SDI is used on a command (*F Q,SDI=), the system issues the following message, and the command is aborted: IAT8050 SDI IS AN INVALID FIELD.
