- LIMit=m|m-n|m-*
- Specifies the limits (in records) for data
sets that the transmitter will select for line-mode transmissions.
This number applies to the total lines of all non-spun output in the
job or to individual spun SYSOUT data sets (or data set fragments)
in a job.
For both variables m and n, you can specify a range of values 0-4294967295. m and n can be equal. If they are not equal, n must be larger
than m.
If you code only m, that value becomes
both the lower and upper limit. If m-* is specified,
the upper limit is set to the default value of 4294967295.
Default: If you omit this parameter, JES2 uses the
defaults m=0 and n=4294967295.
Modification: $TL(nnn).JT(n) command.
- WS=(criteria,.../criteria,...)
- Specifies the work selection criteria for this device. Using
any combination of installation- and JES2-defined criteria, you can
specify up to 18 criteria in the WS= list. JES2 defines LIM (page
and record limit only); any other criterion is installation defined
through use of the $WSTAB macro. (See z/OS JES2 Macros for an explanation of using the $WSTAB macro.)
Multiple entries must be separated by commas and the list (even a
list of one criterion) must be enclosed in parentheses. If a criterion
is specified in the list, work selection is based on the current setting
of the corresponding parameter. If a criterion is not specified in
the list, the criterion is not considered during work selection.
The general rules for specifying a SYSOUT transmitter work selection
list are:
- You can use one slash (/) before or after one of the criterion
to further specify work selection. Criteria placed before the slash
must be matched exactly if the work is to be selected. Criteria placed
after the slash do not have to match exactly.
- The order of those criteria specified after the slash indicates
the priority (highest to lowest, in left to right order) in which
JES2 attempts to match them.
- If the data being considered for transmission was received from
a node that does not provide a page count for its files, then JES2
sets the page count to zero and transmits the data only if a zero
page count is within the limits. For more information, see the sending
node's reference documentation.
- In general, the smaller the work selection list the less the placement
of certain criteria within the list affects the work selection.
Default: / (no work selection criteria)
