ESTLNCT - Default Estimated Print Output and Options

The ESTLNCT statement specifies the default estimated print line count for a batch job, the interval at which the $HASP375 (ESTIMATED LINES EXCEEDED) message is written to the operator, and the action JES2 takes if the output exceeds the estimate. Your installation can provide an output overflow installation exit routine (Exit 9) to override this statement for each batch job processed.

Note: If changed by the $T command after a job was submitted, the ESTLNCT parameters are affected as follows:

the INT= and OPT= values are effected immediately and are reflected during job execution
the NUM= value remains equal to the value when the job was submitted. It takes affect for only newly submitted jobs.
