Controlling Syntax Error Processing for Command Limiting

CA ACF2 for z/ VM command limiting checks each CP command to ensure that the command syntax is correct. By default, CA ACF2 for z/ VM takes the following actions when it detects a syntax error:

Displays a message stating that it detected a syntax error.
Rejects the command. It never reaches the IBM CP command processor. This avoids the overhead of rule validation for a syntax error and passing the command to CP, that would reject it.
Does not write a logging or violation record regarding the syntax error.
Does not update the user's violation count (SEC-VIO). This is important because most syntax errors are the result of honest typographical errors. Updating the user's violation count might cause a suspension of the user's logonid.

Remember, CA ACF2 for z/ VM only performs syntax checking for commands it validated. Specify these commands in the CMDLIM VMO record.
