Parameter Description for INTRDR

Auth=(Job=Yes|No,Device=Yes|No,System=Yes|No)

Specifies the command authority for internal readers. These values authorize certain JES2 commands to be submitted through an internal reader.

Note: This parameter has no effect when the associated resource class and profile in RACF® 1.9 or higher are active. For more information about using JES2 security facilities, see z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide.

Job=Yes|No: Specifies that the device can (Yes) or cannot (No) issue commands that require job authority.
Device=Yes|No: Specifies that the device can (Yes) or cannot (No) issue commands that require device authority.
System=Yes|No: Specifies that the device can (Yes) or cannot (No) issue commands that require system authority.

This parameter affects JES2 control statements only. Use the AUTH parameter of the JOBCLASS initialization statement to specify the authorization for JCL statements. (JES2 control statements begin with /* in columns 1 and 2. JCL statements begin with // in columns 1 and 2.)

Modification: $T INTRDR operator command.

BATCH=Yes|No

Specifies whether internal readers can be used to process batch jobs in addition to time-sharing LOGONs and started tasks (Yes), or are to be dedicated exclusively to time sharing LOGONs and started tasks (No). If BATCH=No is specified, you can submit jobs only through real (local) card readers, RJE, NJE, or through spool reload.

Modification: Warm start.

Class=class

Specifies the default job class to be assigned to all jobs submitted through an internal reader that do not specify a job class in the CLASS operand of their JOB statements.

Modification: $T INTRDR operator command.

Hold=Yes|No

Specifies that all jobs submitted through an internal reader are to be held (Yes) or not held (No) after JCL conversion until they are released for execution by the operator.

All internal readers are treated as a single facility; therefore, if one internal reader is held, all internal readers are held. This can be particularly troublesome if TSO/E users are submitting jobs and the operator has held the internal readers. This can be overcome by several operating techniques:

All jobs submitted through an internal reader can be assigned a class and that class can be held by a JES2 parameter library entry or the $H Qn operator command.
Jobs submitted by the internal reader can use the TYPRUN=HOLD parameter on the JOB statement.
Jobs submitted through an internal reader can be individually held with the $H J operator command.

Modification: $T INTRDR operator command.

PRTYINC=nn|0

Specifies an integer (0-15) to be added to the selection priorities of all jobs submitted through internal readers. If the total of this number and a job's priority exceeds the value specified by PRTYLIM=, JES2 will assume the priority specified by PRTYLIM=.

Modification: $T INTRDR operator command.

PRTYLIM=nn|15

Specifies the maximum priority level (0-15) that can be assigned to jobs submitted through an internal reader. If a job's priority (with or without the increment specified by PRTYINC=) exceeds this level, it will be reduced to this level.

Modification: $T INTRDR operator command.

HONORLIM=Yes/No|HONOR=Yes/No

Specifies whether data sets sent to the internal reader are to be counted towards the byte limit for a job.

Modification: $T INTRDR operator command.

TRace=Yes|P|No

Specifies whether tracing is activated or deactivated for all internal readers. To trace an internal reader, you must also provide the following initialization statements:

TRACE(n) START=YES
TRACEDEF ACTIVE=YES

Note: Specifying TRACE=P is same as specifying TRACE=Yes.

This parameter setting can be overridden by the $T INTRDR operator command. Internal reader tracing is also controlled by trace IDs 11 and 12, the TRACE(n) and TRACEDEF initialization statements, and the $TRACE command. (See z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide, the TRACE(n) and TRACEDEF initialization statements in this chapter , and z/OS JES2 Commands for a description of the $TRACE command for further information concerning the tracing facility.)

Modification: $T INTRDR command.
