Prints the DFSORT installation defaults report in a separate list data set.

DFSORT enables you to maintain separate sets of installation defaults for eight different installation environments as follows:

JCL (ICEAM1) - batch JCL directly invoked installation environment
INV (ICEAM2) - batch program invoked installation environment
TSO (ICEAM3) - TSO directly invoked installation environment
TSOINV (ICEAM4) - TSO program invoked installation environment
TD1 (ICETD1) - first time-of-day installation environment
TD2 (ICETD2) - second time-of-day installation environment
TD3 (ICETD3) - third time-of-day installation environment
TD4 (ICETD4) - fourth time-of-day installation environment

Each installation default has two or more possible values; DFSORT is shipped with a set of IBM-supplied defaults that can be modified using ICEPRMxx members of PARMLIB or the ICEMAC macro. The DEFAULTS operator provides an easy way to determine the installation default values to be used at run-time. See z/OS DFSORT Installation and Customization for a complete discussion of ICEPRMxx members in PARMLIB, the ICEMAC macro, the eight installation environments, and the installation default values.

DEFAULTS produces a three-part report showing:

The merged PARMLIB/ICEMAC installation default values for ICEAM1-4 and ICETD1-4 that will be used at run-time.
The specified PARMLIB ICEPRMxx member option values for ICEAM1-4 and ICETD1-4 (for reference).
The ICEMAC installation default values for ICEAM1-4 and ICETD1-4 (for reference).

The format of the report produced by DEFAULTS varies depending on the defaults selected, but the first part of the report might look like this conceptually:

The merged PARMLIB/ICEMAC default value for each item is shown as it is set for each of the eight installation environments. For any value that is different from the IBM-supplied value, the IBM-supplied value is shown below it.

The control character occupies the first byte of each record. The title and headings are always printed; p is the page number. The item name column occupies 10 bytes, each of the item value columns occupies 20 bytes, and 5 blanks appear between columns.
