OTHR= parameter for procedures

Use the OTHR= parameter in procedure to specify the number of concurrent output threads that Fast Path is to support for the entire Fast Path system.

OTHR= n causes a total of n service request blocks (SRBs) and extended service request blocks (ESRBs) to be created at system initialization. These blocks are used in scheduling asynchronous DEDB output. If an insufficient number of SRBs is specified, write buffers are queued until one becomes available.

The OTHR= parameter can have any value from 1 to 32,767. If a value is not specified, the default is 255. If 0 or a value greater than 32767 is specified, the default is 2. If a value from 1 to 32767 is specified, the specified value is used.
