The RUWAPOOL parameter specifies the option for allocating a storage pool the first time a program
invoked by Language Environment® runs in a task.
- RUWAPOOL={NO|YES}
- Valid values are as follows:
- NO
- CICS disables the option and provides no RUWA storage pool. Every EXEC
CICS LINK to a program that runs under Language Environment results in a GETMAIN
for RUWA storage.
- YES
- CICS creates a pool of storage the first time a program invoked by Language
Environment runs in a task. This provides an available storage pool that reduces
the need to GETMAIN and FREEMAIN run-unit work areas (RUWAs) for every EXEC
CICS LINK request.
Note: This applies only to application programs running
with the Language Environment run-time option ALL31(ON). RUWAPOOL=YES has
no effect on application programs running with the Language Environment run-time
option ALL31(OFF).
