ABARSPROCNAME: Specifying the base procedure name to start the ABARS secondary address space

Explanation: ABARSPROCNAME(name) is used to specify the JCL procedure name used on the START command issued by DFSMShsm to start the ABARS secondary address space. For name, specify a procedure name that conforms to standard MVS™ JCL naming conventions.

DFSMShsm appends ABARSnnst as an identifier to this procedure name when starting ABARS secondary address spaces. The value nn changes each time a new address space is started. The value will range from 1 to 64, so that each address space is started with a unique procedure name. The value st is derived from the current clock time when the procedure is started.

SMS relationship: Parameter has the same meaning when applied to SMS-managed or non-SMS-managed DASD volumes or data sets.

SETSYS default: None.

DFSMShsm default: If you do not specify a procedure name on any SETSYS command, the DFSMShsm default is DFHSMABR.
