NCPLDFT

The NCPLDFT system initialization parameter specifies the name of the default named counter pool to be used by the CICS region on calls it makes to a named counter server.

NCPLDFT={DFHNC001|name}

If CICS cannot determine, from the named counter options table, the pool name required by an EXEC CICS named counter command, CICS uses the default name specified on the NCPLDFT parameter.

Note: This parameter is relevant to references to a named counter server made through the EXEC CICS API only. It not used by the named counter call interface.

DFHNC001: This is the default name that CICS uses as the named counter pool name if you omit the NCPLDFT system initialization parameter.
name: Specifies the 8-character name to be used by CICS as the default pool name in connection with named counter API commands, when the name cannot be resolved by the named counter options table.
