SA23-1385-00

nnnnnn
Indicates the maximum amount of output to be printed for this job, in thousands of bytes. An nnnnnn value of 500 represents 500,000 bytes. The value for nnnnnn is 0 through 999999.
In a JES2 system, a value of 0 for nnnnnn will produce an amount of output that is based on the record blocking factor. When the system recognizes that the 0 value has been exceeded, one of the following will get control:
  • The CANCEL, DUMP, or WARNING option (if coded)
  • The installation exit.

In a JES3 system, a value of 0 for nnnnnn will cause JES3 to use the system default defined at initialization.

CANCEL
Indicates that the system is to cancel the job without dumping storage when the output for the job exceeds the maximum.
DUMP
Indicates that the system is to cancel the job when the output for the job exceeds the maximum, and requests a storage dump.
WARNING
Indicates that the job is to continue, and the system is to send a message to the operator, when the output for the job exceeds the maximum. The system issues subsequent warning messages at an interval defined by the installation.
