SWAP= parameter for procedures

Use the SWAP= parameter in procedure to specify whether to make address space swappable (Y) or non-swappable (N). The default is Y.

If you are using DBRC, you might want to choose option N because of the possibility of being swapped out while holding the reserve on RECON.

If you are using IRLM for block-level data sharing, the SWAP parameter has no effect. If you specify IRLM=Y, a batch job is always made nonswappable to prevent the job from obtaining locks for resources and then being swapped out.
