i5/OS Sysopts for Object Copy
Systopts syntax and parameter that you can use on an i5/OS operating System when copying an object.
Syntax
(TO) SYSOPTS =“TYPE(OBJ)
EXITCMD(valid i5/OS command)
FAILCMD(valid i5/OS command)
MAXRCDS(number | *NOMAX),
ASP(auxiliary-storage-pool),
TEXT(‘text description’),
AUT(*EXCLUDE | *CHANGE | *ALL | *USE)"
specifies system operation parameters on the Sterling Connect:Direct i5/OS COPY statement. The maximum number of characters permitted for SYSOPTS is 256. This parameter is required.
Enclose the entire SYSOPTS string in double quotation marks. Enclose each subparameter string in parentheses. Separate subparameters by blanks. For example:
SYSOPTS="TYPE(OBJ) MAXRCD(*NOMAX) AUT(EXCLUDE)"
TYPE(OBJ)
specifies that the object is to be copied to the Sterling Connect:Direct i5/OS node and is assumed to be in save file format. This parameter is required.
EXITCMD(valid i5/OS command)
specifies a command to be executed only if the copy process is successful. This parameter is only valid when the sender is running Sterling Connect:Direct i5/OS Version 3.3 or later.
FAILCMD(valid i5/OS command)
specifies a command to be executed only if the copy process is not successful. This parameter is only valid when the sender is running Sterling Connect:Direct i5/OS Version 3.3 or later.
MAXRCDS(number | *NOMAX)
specifies the maximum number of records the save file, which was created to hold the data received, can reach. If the number of records received exceeds this value, the COPY step ends in error. Valid values for this parameter range from 1-3997574. If MAXRCDS is not specified, the system limits the size of the save file.
ASP(auxiliary-storage-pool)
specifies the auxiliary storage pool from which the system allocates storage for the save file. Valid values range from 1-16. The default is 1.
TEXT(‘text description’)
specifies a text description to be associated with this object. This description cannot exceed 50 characters and must be enclosed in single quotation marks.
AUT(*EXCLUDE | *CHANGE | *ALL | *USE)
specifies the authority to be given to a user who does not have specific authority to the object, is not on the authorization list, and whose user group does not have specific authority to the object.
- *EXCLUDE is the default. It prevents a user from accessing the file.
- *CHANGE grants a user object operational and all data authorities.
- *ALL grants a user object operational, object management, and object existence authorities and all data authorities.
- *USE grants a user object operational and read data authority.
