Note: The EARLOUT DD should be used as input to TMECYCL or other program to print the Expired Cycle Control Listing (Figure 1-46).

The BLKSIZE of the EARLOUT data set can be any multiple of the LRECL, which is 376.

Parameter Definitions

ABUSELMT=nnn

Cycle abuse limit (see the previous cycle abuse description). The value of nnn can be from one to three numeric digits in the range 1 to 363. The default cycle abuse limit of 1 is recommended. This parameter is optional.

TEST

Process normally, but do not update any TMC records. The Expired Cycle List is produced, but the TMC is not updated. This parameter is optional.
