StorageTek 6 Processing PARMLIB Control Statements, Options Offered by PARMLIB Control Statements

Processing PARMLIB Control Statements

PARMLIB control statements are processed at HSC initialization.

“Sample ACS SLKJCL File” on page 161 contains /FILE statements defining data sets and members that contain PARMLIB control statement definitions.

Note: In the ACS SLKJCL example, ‘‘MEMBER(xx)’’ is the MEMBER parameter described in “Defining PARMLIB Control Statements” on page 83.

Multiple PARMLIB data sets can be allocated. At HSC startup, members can be specified at your discretion.

Examples of SLSSYSXX command lists and PARMLIB control statements are contained in files SLSSYS00 COPY, SLSSYS12 COPY, and SLSSYS20 COPY.

Options Offered by PARMLIB Control Statements

The PARMLIB control statements offer various HSC operating options. At HSC installation you identify the control statements to the HSC for those processes that you want to tailor to your installation. The options are placed in the PARMLIB data set. Options that you can control by using PARMLIB control statements are summarized below. Refer to “Control Statement Syntax Conventions” on page 439 for information on specifying control statements.
