PARMLIB specifications

Installation policy for controlling message flooding situations is specified through the MSGFLDxx member of PARMLIB.

To provide a MSGFLDxx member in PARMLIB:

  1. See the sample MSGFLDxx member as shown in the MSGFLDxx (message flood automation parameters) chapter of z/OS MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference. You should provide a MSGFLDxx member similar to it and place the member into a data set in the PARMLIB concatenation.
  2. You might have as many MSGFLDxx PARMLIB members as you like but Message Flood Automation only supports one member to be active at a time. Message flood automation processing requires that the MSGFLDxx suffix xx be alphabetic, numeric or national characters. Other special characters are not supported.

The following statement types are provided. For more details about the statement and parameters, see z/OS MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference.
