ESTPAGE - Default Estimated Page Output Exceeded

The ESTPAGE statement specifies the number of pages produced for a batch job before the $HASP375 (ESTIMATED PAGES EXCEEDED) message is initially written to the operator, the interval at which it is repeated, and the action JES2 takes if the output exceeds the estimate. This statement is only used by page-mode output; the number of pages generated by line-mode data is not recognized here nor is the $HASP375 message generated by line-mode data. 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 ESTPAGE 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.
