Setting the CONTROL(VMO) Mode

Use the SET subcommand to establish the CONTROL(VMO) setting to process VMO records. The SET subcommand also establishes the active SYSID and other parameters that affect how certain ACF subcommands operate. The syntax for the SET subcommand under the CONTROL setting is:

SEt Control(Vmo) [ SYSid(sysid)      ]
                 [ MSYSid(sysidmask) ]

The SYSID and MSYSID parameters are described below. The other parameters operate as previously explained.

SYSID(sysid)

Specifies the SYSID of the VMO records processed under the CONTROL(VMO) setting. This SYSID remains active for the duration of the CONTROL(VMO) setting, but you can override it with the SYSID parameter of individual ACF subcommands. If you do not specify the SYSID parameter when you establish the CONTROL(VMO) setting, CA ACF2 for VM uses the system default. You can abbreviate the SYSID parameter name to a minimum of SYS.

MSYSID(sysidmask)

Specifies a mask to indicate the SYSIDs of the VMO records processed under the CONTROL(VMO) setting. These SYSIDs remain active for the duration of the CONTROL(VMO) setting, but you can override them with the SYSID parameter of individual ACF subcommands. If you do not specify the SYSID parameter when you establish the CONTROL(VMO) setting, CA ACF2 for VM uses the system default. You can abbreviate the MSYSID parameter name to a minimum of MSYS.
