Parameter Description for ESTLNCT

NUM=nnnnnn|2
Specifies the default estimated print line count (1-999999), in thousands of lines, for a job after which message $HASP375 is written to inform the operator that the job's estimated line count has been exceeded. This value is used if you do not specify a value for the estimated print line count in the accounting field of your JOB statement or by using the LINES= keyword on a /*JOBPARM control statement, or by using the LINES=keyword on the JOB statement.

Modification: $T ESTLNCT operator command or cold start. If you modify this parameter value and then restart JES2 with a warm or hot start, the parameter value in effect before termination will be used.

INT=nnnnnnn|2000
Specifies the interval (1-9999999), in lines, at which message $HASP375 is repeated. The message is initially issued when the output estimate (NUM= value) for the batch job is exceeded.

Modification: $T ESTLNCT operator command or cold start. If you modify this parameter value and then restart JES2 with a warm or hot start, the parameter value in effect before termination will be used.

OPT=0|1|2
Specifies the action JES2 takes when a batch job exceeds the estimated number of output lines.

JES2 will not abend the output (even though OPT=1/2) if the print line count exceeded the estimated with JES managed data set (JESMSGLG, JESYSMSG) only.

The following are the options and subsequent action:
0
Job is allowed to continue execution
1
Job is canceled without a dump
2
Job is canceled with a dump (if a dump statement was coded for this job step)

Modification: $T ESTLNCT operator command.
