During IPL, if the parmlib member AUTOR00 exists, auto-reply processing is activated. If the WTORs listed in AUTOR00 are automated by your existing automation product, examine the WTOR replies in the AUTOR00 parmlib member. If the replies or delay duration are not desirable, you can create a new AUTORxx parmlib member and make corresponding changes. Also compare the replies to what your automation product would reply to these WTORs. Make sure that the AUTOR00 replies are in accordance with the replies from your automation product. It's not recommend to make updates to AUTOR00, because updates to AUTOR00 might be made by the service stream or in new z/OS® releases.

Note:

If you have created an AUTORxx parmlib member, update the IEASYSyy parmlib member that you use for IPL. Add the following statement to the IEASYSyy member:
```
AUTOR=(xx,00)
```
Here xx corresponds to the AUTORxx parmlib member that you created. The IEASYSyy members specifying AUTOR cannot be shared with prior z/OS releases. If you only need the default AUTOR00 settings, you can omit specifying AUTOR= in IEASYSyy, and other z/OS levels can continue to use IEASYSyy. Even if AUTOR= is not specified in IEASYSyy, AUTOR00 is used if it exists.
If you don't want to activate auto-reply processing, specify AUTOR=OFF in the parmlib member IEASYSxx or in response to message IEA101A SPECIFY SYSTEM PARAMETERS. It is not recommended that you remove AUTOR00 from parmlib, because service or new releases might reinstall AUTOR00. If there is no AUTOR00 member in parmlib, auto-reply is not activated and the following messages are produced:
```
CNZ2600I AUTO-REPLY POLICY ATTEMPTING TO USE AUTOR=00.          
IEA301I AUTOR00 NOT FOUND IN PARMLIB                               
CNZ2601I AUTO-REPLY POLICY NOT ACTIVATED. 
NO ENTRIES SPECIFIED
