The following are the optional parameters of the ARCHSEND macro:
- WAIT
- specifies whether you want the application to wait until DFSMShsm has
processed this request. If YES is specified, the application waits
until DFSMShsm completes
processing of the request. The default is NO.
- HOSTID
- is a one-character host identifier that is used to distinguish
which active DFSMShsm (main
or auxiliary) host is to receive the command. The specified host ID
must match one of the currently active DFSMShsm host IDs. For requirements
of the hostid value, see the topic about startup procedure
keywords in z/OS DFSMShsm Implementation and Customization Guide.
- SNAPDCB
- specifies the address of an open DCB that can be used for SNAP
macro processing. This feature is intended for problem determination.
If you specify this parameter, review Usage notes. For dcbaddr,
specify the address of an open DCB.
- TEST
- specifies whether to refrain from sending a request for service
to DFSMShsm.
If YES is specified the service request is not sent. If NO is specified,
a service request is sent to DFSMShsm. In both cases the parameters are
checked for correctness. A 4xx return code will result for
invalid parameters. The default is NO.
- PRIV
- specifies a reserved keyword for the internal interface from
the CATALOG function to DFSMShsm. If YES is specified, the interface
is used. If NO is specified, the interface is not used. The default
is NO.
