DIAG_VOLUME_BCS_OPTIONS

BCS_DEPTH = 32

The maximum number of BCS data sets that can be open concurrently. Specify a value between 1 and 255.

DSN_COMPONENT_MAX = 256

The maximum number of internal component control blocks for a given data set name being analyzed. The primary purpose for this is to prevent runaway permutation modeling. Specify a value between 32 and 8192.

JAM_FILES = DASD | VIRTUAL

This sets what to use for larger temporary work space when diagnosing volumes.

• DASD—dynamically allocates temporary work data sets.
• VIRTUAL—manages the temporary data in virtual data spaces. Use this when the local SMS ACS routines unconditionally force VIO allocation and the current system has sufficient auxiliary storage available.

NONSMS_STORAGEGROUP = NON-SMS

The specified value is a pseudo SMS storage group that represents all non-SMS volumes. For example, specifying EXCLUDE-STORAGEGROUP(NON-SMS) on the DIAGNOSE command will exclude all non-SMS volumes. Specify a value with 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters, and it can include hyphens and underscore characters.

AGE-TOLERANCE = NO | 0 | 1 | nnnn

This sets the default value for the AGE-TOLERANCE keyword.

ALLOCATE = FIXFILE | FIX | JCL

This sets the default value for the ALLOCATE keyword.

EXTENDED-STORAGEGROUP-SEARCH = NO | YES

This sets the default value for the EXTENDED-STORAGEGROUP-SEARCH keyword.

IMPLICIT-GDG-MODEL = ALLOW | WARN | DELETE

This sets the default value for the IMPLICIT-GDG-MODEL keyword.

DELETE-TEMPSYS = NO | YES

This feature enables temporary data sets that are found on the selected volumes to be considered for deletion. The filtering criteria command keywords for these data sets will follow the same rules as any other data set name, however, scratch eligibility will be based upon its current in-use status. The SYSDSN major name will be checked to ensure that the data set is not currently in use. In a shared DASD environment, the SYSDSN ENQ for these data sets must have a global scope in order to avoid possible integrity issues.
