TLIM=nn parameter for procedures

Use the TLIM=nn parameter in procedure to specify a 2-digit termination limit option with a decimal number between 01 and 99.

When the number of application program abends reaches this limit, the message region is automatically terminated. The accumulated number of abends for a region is increased only if the transaction is not requeued.

TLIM is not incremented in the case of a pseudoabend. This allows z/OS® to print the accumulated SYSOUT data sets.

TLIM is not incremented in the case of an abend U0474 for an MPP.

The TLIM default for an IFP region is 01. For all other regions, the default is 00. If 00 is specified, no limit on program abends is set, and the message region is not automatically terminated.

For an application defined as PGMTYPE=BATCH in the APPLCTN macro statement, the optional parameter is ignored if specified.
