Keywords

REPOSITORY()
This is a required keyword. The name of the repository data set to be started. The Repository Server (RS) catalog repository data sets cannot be started using the START command.
OPEN(NO | YES)
This keyword is optional. Specifies whether to open the repository data sets immediately after the repository is started.
NO
Repository data sets are opened when a user first connects to the repository, or immediately if AUTOOPEN=Y is defined for the repository with the ADD FRPBATCH command. This is the default.
YES
Repository data sets are allocated and opened when the repository is started.
MAXWAIT(5 | seconds , CONTINUE | IGNORE | ABORT)
This keyword is optional. The maximum number of seconds (0-9999) that the utility waits for the START operation to complete. The default is 5 seconds. A value of 0 means that the utility does not wait and returns a code immediately. MAXWAIT also specifies the action to take if the START operation is not complete when the MAXWAIT period expires (when the request to the server to start the user repository is successful but the batch utility is not able to confirm that the repository is in the requested state).
CONTINUE
Command processing continues even when the MAXWAIT period expires. The return code is set to 4.
IGNORE
Command processing continues even when the MAXWAIT period expires. No return code is set.
ABORT
Command processing is terminated when the MAXWAIT period expires. The return code is set to 8.
