MAXFAILS keyword

Use the MAXBUFFS keyword to specify the maximum allowable number of UOWs that fail to be reorganized, before the utility is ends abnormally.

If the number of failures exceeds the number that is specified on the MAXFAILS keyword, the reorganization processing is stopped and the OER utility stops its processing or abends depending on the value that is specified for the ERRORACT keyword.

MAXFAILS is an optional keyword for the SETREORGPARM subcommand.

integer
Specify an integer value in the range of 0 - 999.
If you specify MAXFAILS=0, then no limit is set and the reorganization continues the attempt to reorganize the next UOW until all UOWs in the area are processed or the reorganization limit, if it is specified, is reached.

The failed UOWs are reported in the SYSPRINT or the FPXMFILE stream. The failed UOWs are also marked in the UOW Space Statistics report.

MAXFAILS=5
