PROPLIST syntax

PROPLIST and PROPERTY statements

PROPLIST NAME(proplist-statement-name),
       PROPERTY NAME(property-name) VALUE(value)

proplist-statement-name
names the PROPLIST statement referenced by the CUSTOM parameter in a GROUP statement. The name can be 1 to 8 alphabetic, numeric, or national characters (@, #, $) and must begin with an alphabetic or national character.
property-name
names the property. The properties are described in Table 1.
value
specifies the setting for the property.

Table 1 shows the properties that you can specify with the PROPERTY statement, and the corresponding flag that you could set in a user exit routine to achieve the same result. The user exit overrides the PROPERTY statement.

Table 1. Properties to Specify with the PROPERTY Statement
Name Values Description Corresponding Field for User Exit
Browse.CoreBuf.NoSwap TRUE or FALSE Affects the browsing of job data sets. A value of TRUE requests that SDSF not attempt to gather data not yet written to spool if the job is swapped out. This is ignored for systems other than the one you are logged onto. FALSE is the default. UPRSFLG3.UPRS3SWP
Browse.Suppress.DupDS TRUE or FALSE Controls whether duplicate SYSOUT data sets are included when you browse or print a job. A value of TRUE requests that duplicate SYSOUT data sets not be included. FALSE is the default. UPROFLG3.UPRO3NOD
Comm.Release.Mode 1 or 2 Sets the mode that SDSF uses for communication to provide sysplex-wide data on SDSF panels. For more information, refer to Using the server for sysplex data.

A value of 1 sets the communication mode to Z12, which requests that SDSF revert to using WebSphere MQ for communications if one or more systems is z/OS V1R12 or lower. Systems must be in the server group.

A value of 2 sets the communication mode to Z13, which requests that SDSF use the sysplex support that was introduced in z/OS V1R13 SDSF. SDSF uses XCF for communications and does not use the server group. Systems that you wish to be included must be at least z/OS V1R13. This is the default.

UPRCMODE
Command.FILTER.SymbolsDisabled TRUE or FALSE Controls the use of system symbols with filtering. If the value is TRUE, any symbols in a string are not resolved. If the value is FALSE, symbols are resolved. FALSE is the default. UPRS6FSY
Command.HOLD.AddGenChar TRUE or FALSE Affects the job name parameter on the H command. If the value is TRUE, SDSF appends a generic pattern-matching character to the job name specified with the H command, unless the job name already ends with a generic character or is already the maximum length (8 characters). For example, the command H GREER would result in H GREER*. FALSE is the default. UPROFLG1.UPRO1GHO

Command.INIT.
DefaultJESManaged

TRUE or FALSE Controls the rows that are shown on the initiator panel by default. If the value is TRUE, only JES-managed initiators are shown by default. FALSE is the default. UPROFLG2.UPRO2IDJ
Command.PREFIX.AddGenChar TRUE or FALSE Affects the PREFIX command. If the value is TRUE, SDSF appends a generic pattern-matching character to the prefix specified with the PREFIX command, unless the prefix already ends with a generic character or is already the maximum length (8 characters). For example, the command PREFIX JONES would result in a prefix of JONES*. FALSE is the default. UPROFLG1.UPRO1GPF
Command.SLASH.CommandLimit 20 - 2000 Sets the number of system commands entered with the / command that SDSF stores. When the number is exceeded, the oldest command is removed from the list. The default is 1,000. System commands are stored only when using SDSF under ISPF. UPRCMDLM
Command.SLASH.Name /, ( or ) Specifies a single character to use when issuing system commands through SDSF (usually referred to as the slash command). You would use this character with all forms of the slash command, including I/ and W/. Enclose the character in single quotation marks, for example VALUE(')'). The default is /.

This also affects the character used with the REXX ISFEXEC command. The REXX ISFSLASH command is preferred, as it does not require the character to be coded with the command.

UPRSLCMD
UPRSLCIC
UPRSLCWC

Command.SLASH.NoDynamicPanels TRUE or FALSE Controls whether the size of the System Command Extension pop-up varies with the screen size of the emulator session. If the value is TRUE, the size of the pop-up does not vary. If the value is FALSE, the size of the pop-up varies. FALSE is the default. UPROFLG4.UPRO4CDP
Command.STAT.AddGenChar TRUE or FALSE Affects the job name parameter on the ST command. If the value is TRUE, SDSF appends a generic pattern-matching character to the job name specified with the ST command, unless the job name already ends with a generic character or is already the maximum length (8 characters). For example, the command ST GREER would result in ST GREER*. FALSE is the default. UPROFLG1.UPRO1GST
Console.EMCS.ConModChars String of up to 32 characters consisting of A-Z, 0-9, @, #, $. Names the list of suffixes to use when modifying the console name when the console activation fails due to the console being in use. The default is $#@12345. UPXCONSF
Console.EMCS.CrossShare TRUE or FALSE A value of TRUE allows sharing of an EMCS console if it is in use but was activated in a different address space than the user. Console sharing means that commands will be issued using that console, and any responses will be directed to the ULOG for the task that has activated the console. A value of FALSE specifies that console can be shared only if it has been activated in the same address space as the user. The option to allowing sharing is effective only when console sharing is permitted. See Console.EMCS.NoShare. FALSE is the default. UPRSFLG5.UPRS5CSX
Console.EMCS.DataSpaceSize 1 - 2048 Controls the size of the dataspace used when the EMCS console is activated. The data space size controls the number of messages that may be queued to the console prior to them being retrieved. The value indicates the size in megabytes. 2048 is the default. UPRCONSZ
Console.EMCS.NoConMod TRUE or FALSE (the default) Disables modification of the console name when console activation fails due to the console being in use. A value of TRUE disables the function and a value of FALSE enables it. FALSE is the default. UPROFLG2.UPRO2NMD
Console.EMCS.NoShare TRUE or FALSE A value of TRUE specifies that an EMCS console can be shared if it is already active. See Console.EMCS.CrossShare for controlling sharing of the EMCS console across address spaces. FALSE is the default. UPRSFLAG.UPRSNOCS
