PRIORITY
Purpose
The PRIORITY parameter defines the relationship between colors and priority ranges. This parameter is optional. If it is not coded, program defaults are used.
Syntax
Parameters
- nnn
- The lower limit of the priority range. It can be any valid number between 001 and 99999999.
- mmm
- The upper limit of the priority range. It can be any valid number between 001 and 99999999. It must be equal to or greater than the value specified in nnn.
- color
- The color that is used for a particular priority range. It can be one of the following:
- R
- Red
- P
- Pink
- Y
- Yellow
- T
- Turquoise
- G
- Green
- B
- Blue
- W
- White (=Neutral)
- BLA
- Black
- NAV
- Navy (Deep Blue in 3270 terms)
- ORA
- Orange
- PUR
- Purple
- MIN
- Mint (Pale Green in 3270 terms)
- CEL
- Celeste (Pale Turquoise in 3270 terms)
- GRA
- Gray
- IVO
- Ivory (x'FF'-White in 3270 terms)
- program_defaults
- These are:
- Priority Range
- Color
- 001–199
- RED
- 200–299
- PINK
- 300–399
- YELLOW
- 400–499
- TURQUOISE
- 500–599
- GREEN
- 600–699
- BLUE
Restrictions and Limitations
- This parameter must be specified on one line. Continuation lines are not allowed. The total length of the parameter and parameter value specification cannot exceed 72 characters.
- In the AOFINIT member, if the number of PRIORITY parameters defining priority and color ranges (see PRIORITY) exceeds the default PRITBLSZ parameter value of 7 (see PRITBLSZ), the DCOLOR parameter must follow the PRITBLSZ parameter.
- Default values for priorities and colors are used if and only if no PRIORITY parameters are defined. If you choose to customize any priority and color definitions, you must specify all priority and color definitions in AOFINIT, rather than customizing the one priority and color definition and using the defaults for the remaining definitions.
Usage
It is recommended that you use the priority and color values that are supplied with the SA z/OS DSIPARM member AOFINIT.
Examples
PRIORITY = 001,199,RED

PRIORITY = 300,399,YELLOW
PRIORITY = 400,499,TURQUOISE
PRIORITY = 500,599,GREEN
PRIORITY = 600,699,BLUE
