Optional parameters

The following are the optional parameters of the ARCHSEND macro:

WAIT: specifies whether you want the application to wait until DFSMShsm has processed this request. If YES is specified, the application waits until DFSMShsm completes processing of the request. The default is NO.
HOSTID: is a one-character host identifier that is used to distinguish which active DFSMShsm (main or auxiliary) host is to receive the command. The specified host ID must match one of the currently active DFSMShsm host IDs. For requirements of the hostid value, see the topic about startup procedure keywords in z/OS DFSMShsm Implementation and Customization Guide.
SNAPDCB: specifies the address of an open DCB that can be used for SNAP macro processing. This feature is intended for problem determination. If you specify this parameter, review Usage notes. For dcbaddr, specify the address of an open DCB.
TEST: specifies whether to refrain from sending a request for service to DFSMShsm. If YES is specified the service request is not sent. If NO is specified, a service request is sent to DFSMShsm. In both cases the parameters are checked for correctness. A 4xx return code will result for invalid parameters. The default is NO.
PRIV: specifies a reserved keyword for the internal interface from the CATALOG function to DFSMShsm. If YES is specified, the interface is used. If NO is specified, the interface is not used. The default is NO.
