SPIN interval for the allocated SYSOUT data set - Key = '802A'
DALSPI2 specifies the interval for spinning a SYSOUT data set when DALSPIN is also coded with a PARM of X'80''.
When you code DALSPI2, # must be one, LEN is 3 to 8 and the PARM
field is the character (EBCDIC) representation of the SPIN interval,
such as F9F9F9 for '999' or F1F27AF0F0 for '12:00' with the following
values:
- hh:mm
- Data set will be spun at the time ‘hh:mm' each 24 hour period where ‘hh' is hours and has a range of 00 through 23 and ‘mm' is minutes and has a range of 00 through 59. The time must be specified within apostrophes.
- +hh:mm
- Data set will be spun every 'hh:mm' time interval where ‘hh' is
hours and has a range of 00 through 23 and ‘mm' is minutes
and has a range of 00 through 59. The minimum interval that can be
specified is 10 minutes. ‘hh' must be specified even if zero.
For example, the following specification indicates that the data set
is to be spun at 20 minute intervals:
The time interval must be specified within apostrophes.SPIN=(UNALLOC,'+00:20')
- nnn
- nnnK
- nnnM
- Data set will be spun when it has nnn lines, where nnn is the number of lines and must start with a minimum of 500, K is thousands, and M is millions.
- NOCMND
- Data set cannot be spun before it is unallocated.
- CMNDONLY
- Data set will only be spun when an operator issues a command to spin the data set.
Example: To specify a SPIN interval of 999 lines, code:
KEY # LEN PARM
802A 0001 0003 F9F9F9
