Statement Range Considerations
Care should be taken when using the asterisk on initialization statements and commands. Processing times can increase. For example, the statement NODE(*) increases processing time drastically, although no additional nodes are actually created, and no changes are made to nodes outside the defined range. Likewise, the command, $T NODE(*), increases processing time.
However, initialization statement processing is different. As an example, for the PRT(nnnn) initialization statement:
- PRT(*) resets values previously established.
- PRT(1-*) defines values not yet established.
The following table lists JES2 initialization statements that
have this "dual" form of processing.
| JES2 initialization statements with "dual" processing | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EXIT(nnnn) | L(nnn).JT(n) | OFF(n).JT | PRT(nnnn) | R(nnn).RD(n) |
| JOBCLASS(nnnn) | L(nnn).ST(n) | OFF(n).ST | PUN(nnnn) | REDIRect(nnn) |
| JOBPRTY(nnnn) | LOGON(nnn) | OFF(n).SR | RDR(nnn) | SSI(nnn) |
| UTCLASS(nnnn) | MEMBER(nnnn) | OFF(n).JR | R(nnn).PR(n) | RMT(nnn) |
| OUTPRTY(nnnn) | NODE(nnn) | OFFLOAD(nnn) | R(nnn).PU(n) | TRACE(nnn) |
