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 and 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 more 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 attempts 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 can require that CAISDI/med be restarted with REUSE=NO. In any other case, do not use REUSE=NO, unless directed by CA Technologies 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 if an installation runs more than one copy of the CAISDI/med per z/OS image. The default value for this parameter is SDIA. Do not specify another value unless directed to do so by CA Technologies Support.

The following is an example of the INIT control statement:

INIT REUSE=NO, 
     MEDNAME=SDIA
