Limiting output in an APPC scheduling environment

In an APPC scheduling environment, use the BYTES, CARDS, LINES, and PAGES parameters of the JOB statement to limit the number of:

Bytes to be spooled for the job
Cards to be punched for the job
Lines to be printed for the job
Pages to be printed for the job.

When you code the CANCEL subparameter with any of these parameters, the system cancels the job when the output exceeds the limit you have specified.

If you do not code a limit on the JOB statement BYTES, CARDS, LINES, or PAGES parameter, the system cancels the job when its output exceeds the installation default limit specified at JES initialization, and the JES cancel option has been specified.
