Table 1. OPTIONS Summary
Variable Value
Required/Optional Statement Optional
Statement Default
OPTIONS,DUMP=PRDMP,DUMPLINS=24576,
WANTDUMP=YES,LIMIT=03,INTERVAL=10,
INTRDR=000020,JOBNO=(1,9999,9999),
MT=OFF,SE=10,DUPJOBNM=NO,
XCFGRPNM=NONE,JOBTRACK=SYSPLEX, 
DUPLOGON=NO 
Placement in Initialization Stream This statement must precede the ENDJSAM statement.
Coding Considerations
  • Only one OPTIONS statement should be included in an initialization stream. If more than one is included, the parameters explicitly specified on the last OPTIONS statement dominate.
  • You can suppress JES3 FAILSOFT dumps taken on the global using the JES3 dump suppression facility. To activate this facility, either omit the WANTDUMP parameter or specify WANTDUMP=YES on this statement. See “Recovery and Service Aids” in z/OS JES3 Commands for more information about using the JES3 dump suppression facility.

Restart or Command Modification
  • Use the *MODIFY,CONFIG command to dynamically change the following keywords:
    • DUMPLINS
    • DUPJOBNM
    • DUPLOGON
    • INTERVAL
    • INTRDR
    • JOBTRACK
    • LIMIT
    • MT
    • WANTDUMP
  • Warm or cold start for all parameters except the SE parameter. Use a cold start to change the value of the SE parameter. If you do not change internal job numbering (using the JOBNO parameter), JES3 uses the next available job number.
  • Hot start with refresh for all parameters except SE and XCFGRPNM. Use a cold or warm start to change XCFGRPNM.

    If you change the JOBNO parameter during a hot start with refresh such that jobs are deleted, and no IPL is being performed, it is your responsibility to make sure that no jobs that are being deleted are active on the main. JES3 issues messages IAT4131 and IAT4133 for all jobs that are deleted by a change in the JOBNO parameter. You can ignore these messages for active jobs provided that for every active job that is deleted, the processor on which the job was running is IPLed.

    If you do not IPL the processor on which jobs to be deleted are active, you must either wait for these active jobs to end or cancel them. The active jobs must end before you perform this hot start with refresh.

    When, during a hot start with refresh, JES3 detects an active job that is about to be deleted, JES3 determines if the processor in question is still active and, if so, issues messages IAT3101, IAT2061, and IAT2064 (IAT3062 is issued only in error cases). JES3 issues these messages only once per processor. See z/OS JES3 Messages for an explanation of these messages. When IAT2061 and IAT2064 are issued, the processor must be IPLed in order to continue the hot start with refresh; a CANCEL reply is accepted but will abend JES3.

  • Use the *MODIFY,X,D=INTRDR command to change the INTRDR parameter.
  • Use the *MODIFY,MT command to change the MT parameter.
  • Use the *MODIFY,WANTDUMP= (or *MODIFY,WDMP=) command to change the WANTDUMP parameter.
  • Use the *MODIFY Q,DUPJOBNM= to change the DUPJOBNM parameter.
Note: The NAME parameter on the NJERMT statement that defines HOME=YES is the default for the XCFGRPNM parameter on the OPTIONS statement during a warm or cold start. If the home node is changed during a hot start with refresh and the XCFGRPNM parameter is not specified, the value of XCFGRPNM that was determined from the home node definition during the last warm or cold start remains in effect.
