SCS Address Space Administration › JCL EXEC Statement PARM Keyword and START Command Parameters

JCL EXEC Statement PARM Keyword and START Command Parameters

The SCS address space parameters are specified in a parameter library member. Sometimes, the SCS address space parameters are specified with the following elements:

• The PARM keyword parameter of the JCL EXEC statement in the address space startup JCL
• The START command that is used to start the SCS address space

Parameters that can be specified with the PARM keyword parameter of the JCL EXEC statement and with the START command are identical.

If the SCS address space parameters are specified using one of these alternate methods, adhere to the following guidelines:

• START command parameter values override the JCL EXEC statement PARM keyword parameter values.
• Separate the keywords with two or more parameters with a comma or a space.
• Separate the keywords with two or more subparameters with a comma or a space.
• Parameters are specified as keyword parameters. Subparameters of a keyword can be positional.
• Parameters can be specified in any order.
• Parameter strings can include comments any place there is a space. Begin a comment with the starting comment delimiter (/*). Optionally, end the comments with the ending comment delimiter (*/).
• Parameters that are specified incorrectly are ignored.

The parameters that are used with the JCL EXEC Statement PARM keyword parameter and START command are as follows:

CONFIG(name)

Specifies the name of the parameter library member containing the SCS address space configuration parameters.

ROUTCDE(routing code list)
