Connect:Direct for z/OS Process Statement

Edit online

The PROCESS statement defines the attributes of a Process and is always the first statement in a Process.

The maximum storage area allowed for a Process statement is 1MB. To accommodate a larger Process, split the Process into two separate Processes. Include a SUBMIT statement in the first Process to run the second Process.

To ensure that the Transmission Control Queue has adequate space to store a large Process, see Planning the Installation in IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for z/OS Configuration Guide.

Note: Passwords for PNODEID and SNODEID are limited to 8 characters in either of the following scenarios: if you submit a process between the PNODE and SNODE over a SNA or SNUF connection, or if the process is a PNODE=SNODE PROCESS.

The following is the Connect:Direct® for z/OS® Process statement format. Refer to Process Parameters for more information.
