OPT= parameter for procedures

Use the OPT= parameter in procedures to specify what action to take when the dependent region starts, but when no system identifier matches the names given on IMSID or ALTID. Valid values are N, W, and C. The default is N.

The actions are:

N: Ask operator for a decision. This is the default.
W: Wait for the control program to start.
C: Cancel message region automatically.

You can set the OPT= parameter using the DFSOPT DD statement in IMS-supplied procedures. The syntax for the OPT= parameter is:

OPT=N|W|C (The default is N.)

For more information, see DFSOPT DD in DD statements for IMS procedures.
