Parameters and Commands › PROCESS Statement › DSPLYINT Parameter

DSPLYINT Parameter

The DSPLYINT (display interval) parameter establishes the Console Communication Facility and indicates the times at which processing information is displayed at the operator console and specified TSO terminals.

The Console Communication Facility is controlled by dynamic commands entered from the console. Unless you decide to turn the facility off (by specifying DSPLYINT=NO), you can enter dynamic commands at the operator console to change the status interval previously selected by parameter. The Console Communication Facility and its commands are described at the end of this section. Be sure that your system console operator is aware of valid reply choices.

You can send the status display to a selected functional area by using the INFOROUTE parameter or the REPLYROUTE parameter.

DSPLYINT Syntax and Options

[,DSPLYINT= {interval
             NO
             REQUEST
             STEP◄}]

[,DSPLYINT= {display interval}]

The DSPLYINT (display interval) parameter establishes the Console Communication Facility and indicates the times at which processing information is displayed at the operator console and specified TSO terminals. STEP is the default.

interval

Specifies the time interval (in minutes) at which the status is displayed at the operator console (and specified TSO terminals). Status information is also displayed when each step starts and ends. The minimum interval is one minute; the maximum interval is 120 minutes. The timing of a display interval begins each time a step begins. You can change this interval at run time by entering the SET INTERVAL command at the operator console.

You can enter a DISPLAY STATUS command at the operator console without affecting the specified display interval.

NO

Specifies that the status display is to be turned off for the current run of CA IDMS/DB Reorg. Enter DSPLYINT=NO if STXIT OC support is not generated in the supervisor.

REQUEST

Specifies that you want reorganization processing information on demand and allows you to request the information by using the DISPLAY STATUS command at the operator console.

DSPLYINT=REQUEST can be changed during execution of CA IDMS/DB Reorg by entering a SET INTERVAL command at the operator console.

STEP

Specifies that you do not want a periodic display and that status information is to be displayed automatically after the completion of each individual reorganization step.

DSPLYINT=STEP can be changed during execution of CA IDMS/DB Reorg by entering the SET INTERVAL command at the operator console.

If you specify DSPLYINT=STEP, you can enter a DISPLAY STATUS command at the operator console without affecting the display at the end of each step.

Rules

If you specify DSPLYINT=NO, you cannot enter dynamic commands at the operator console.

Route Code Syntax and Options

For a z/OS or OS/390 environment with multiple console support, status displays and status messages requiring replies can be routed to selected functional areas by using the optional INFOROUTE and REPLYROUTE parameters.

[,INFOROUTE=route-code]
[,REPLYROUTE=route-code]

INFOROUTE route-code

Indicates the route code for WTO messages.

route-code

Identifies the functional area that is to receive the status display at the intervals specified in the DSPLYINT parameter.

The default value for INFOROUTE is 2.

REPLYROUTE route-code

Indicates the route code for WTOR messages.

route-code

Identifies the functional area that is to receive the status display at the intervals specified in the DSPLYINT parameter.

The default value for REPLYROUTE is 1.

Rules

• INFOROUTE and REPLYROUTE function only under z/OS and OS/390.
• Do not enter INFOROUTE or REPLYROUTE if DSPLYINT=NO.
• Specify only one route code for INFOROUTE and/or one route code for REPLYROUTE.
• Code number 11 is reserved for internal use only. All messages are automatically routed for programmer information in addition to any route specified by using INFOROUTE or REPLYROUTE.
