Parameter Description for L(nnnnn).ST(n)
- LIMit=m|m-n|m-*
- Specifies the limits (in records) for SYSOUT
data sets that the SYSOUT transmitter will select for line-mode transmissions.
This number applies to the total lines of all non-spun output in the
job or to individual spun SYSOUT data sets (or data set fragments)
in a job.
For both variables m and n, you can specify a range of values 0-4294967295. m and n can be equal. If they are not equal, n must be larger than m.
If you code only m, that value becomes both the lower and upper limit. If m-* is specified, the upper limit is set to the default value of 4294967295.
Default: If you omit this parameter, JES2 uses the defaults m=0 and n=4294967295.
Modification: $T L(nnnnn).ST(n) operator command.
- OUTDisp=(disposition[,...disposition])
- Specifies the disposition(s) that the output must have in order to be eligible for processing by
this offload transmitter. The operator can specify one to four of the following valid dispositions:
- HOLD|H
- Hold the output. JES2 does not process the output until you either change the disposition to
WRITE or KEEP, or release the output. When the output is released, the disposition changes to WRITE.
Note: This specification is honored when the output reaches the destination node.
- KEEP|K
- JES2 processes the output. After processing, the disposition of this output becomes LEAVE. A copy will NOT be kept on spool on the source node after transmission, or offload process. Output disposition is only honored at final destination.
- LEAVE|L
- JES2 does not process the output until you change the disposition to WRITE or KEEP, or release the output. When the output is released, the disposition changes to KEEP. A copy will NOT be kept on spool on the source node after transmission, or offload process. Output disposition is only honored at final destination.
- WRITE|W
- JES2 processes the output then purges it.
Default: Only output with dispositions WRITE and KEEP are selected by this offload transmitter if you do not specify values for OUTDisp=.
Modification: $T L(n).ST operator command
- PLIM=m|m-n|m-*
- Specifies the limits (in pages) set by this device for
SYSOUT data sets that the SYSOUT transmitter will select for page-mode
transmissions. This number applies to the total pages of all non-spun
output in the job or to individual spun SYSOUT data sets in a job.
For both variables m and n, you can specify a range of values 0-4294967295. m and n can be equal. If they are not equal, n must be larger than m.
If you code only m, that value becomes both the lower and upper limit. If m-* is specified, the upper limit is set to the default value of 4294967295.
Default: If you omit this parameter, JES2 uses the defaults m=0 and n=4294967295.
Modification: $T L(nnnnn).ST(n) operator command.
- WS=(criterion,.../criterion,...)
- Specifies the work selection criteria for this device. Using any combination of installation- and JES2-defined
criteria, you can specify up to 18 criteria in the WS= list. JES2 defines LIM (page and record limit
only); any other criterion is installation defined through use of the $WSTAB macro. (See z/OS JES2 Macros for an
explanation of using the $WSTAB macro.) Multiple entries must be separated by commas and the list
(even a list of one criterion) must be enclosed in parentheses. If a criterion is specified in the
list, work selection is based on the current setting of the corresponding parameter. If a criterion
is not specified in the list, the criterion is not considered during work selection. The general rules for specifying a SYSOUT transmitter work selection list are:
- You can use one slash (/) before or after one of the criterion to further specify work selection. Criteria placed before the slash must be matched exactly if the work is to be selected. Criteria placed after the slash do not have to match exactly.
- The order of those criteria specified after the slash indicates the priority (highest to lowest, in left to right order) in which JES2 attempts to match them.
- If the data being considered for transmission was received from a node that does not provide a page count for its files, then JES2 sets the page count to zero and transmits the data only if a zero page count is within the limits. For more information, see the sending node's reference documentation.
- In general, the smaller the work selection list the less the placement of certain criteria within the list affects the work selection.
Default: / (no work selection criteria)
