MONITOR (OFFLINECONTROLDATASET): Monitoring the space used in the OCDS

Explanation: OFFLINECONTROLDATASET(thresh) is an optional subparameter of the MONITOR parameter that specifies when DFSMShsm issues warning messages about the amount of space used in the OCDS.

For thresh, substitute a decimal number from 0 to 100 that specifies a percentage value. When the occupied space in the OCDS exceeds this percentage value, DFSMShsm warns the system operator that the data set is getting full.

SMS relationship: Parameter has the same meaning when applied to SMS-managed or non-SMS-managed DASD volumes or data sets.

SETSYS default: None.

DFSMShsm default: If you do not specify a threshold on any SETSYS command, the DFSMShsm default is 80%.
