INIT Control Statement

The INIT statement is used to define initialization settings that control the execution of the CAISDI/med address space. The INIT statement is unique in that it can be specified as the PARM= value on the // EXEC card in the CASDIMED started task procedure as well as in the CAISDI/med initialization data set.

Use this syntax for the INIT statement:

INIT [DEBUGMSG={YES|NO}] [REUSE={YES|NO}] [MEDNAME=SDIA]

DEBUGMSG

This keyword parameter controls the production of additional diagnostic messages for various events within the CAISDI/med address space. You can specify one of the following:

YES - produce diagnostic messages

NO - do not produce diagnostic messages

REUSE

This parameter indicates whether the CAISDI/med should attempt to reuse its common storage intercepts and control blocks if obtained during a previous execution. Specify NO or YES.

Important! We strongly recommend that you specify REUSE=YES as the default. However, certain PTFs may require that CAISDI/med be restarted with REUSE=NO. In any other case, REUSE=NO should not be used, unless directed by CA Support.

MEDNAME

This parameter is used to uniquely identify a given instance of CAISDI/med in a given z/OS image. The value can be one- to four-characters long and include alpha, numeric, or special characters. This parameter is useful should an installation run more than one copy of the CAISDI/med per z/OS image. The default value for this parameter is SDIA. You should specify no other value unless directed to do so by CA Support.

The following is an example of the INIT control statement:

INIT REUSE=NO, 
     MEDNAME=SDIA
