ESTPUN - Default Estimated Punch Output and Options

The ESTPUN statement specifies the default estimated punched card output for a job, the interval at which the $HASP375 (ESTIMATED CARDS EXCEEDED) message is written to the operator, and the action JES2 takes when the output is exceeded. You can provide an output overflow installation exit routine (Exit 9) to override this statement on a per-job basis.

Note: If changed by the $T command after a job was submitted, the ESTPUN 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.
