Code DINRSPI2 to request the return of the spin interval specification.
When you code DINRSPI2, # must be 1, LEN must be 3 to 8 and the PARM field is the character (EBCDIC) representation of the SPIN interval, such as F9F9F9 for '999' or F1F27AF0F0 for '12:00'. If a spin data set specification is associated with the data set, the system returns the PARM length into LEN and the string specified for DALSPI2 (or the second parameter of the SPIN keyword value on JCL DD statement) in PARM: See SPIN interval for the allocated SYSOUT data set - Key = '802A' for valid strings.
Example: To request the return of the SPIN interval for the DD statement with name AA1, code:
KEY # LEN PARM
0001 0001 0008 C1 C1 F1 40 40 40 40 40
C02A 0001 0008
Output: KEY # LEN PARM
0001 0001 0008 C1 C1 F1 40 40 40 40 40
C02A 0001 0005 F0 F1 7A F0 F0
Note that the string is not validated until passed to the job entry subsystem responsible for the SYSOUT allocation.
