VMPARM Statement

The VMPARM statement gives you runtime control of several variables in the VM Interface's translate component. Keywords and their values can be specified in any order. The statement identifier, VMPARM, must begin in position 2. This statement must be placed in the file defined by the //CAIJFIN DD of the CA JARS execution JCL. This statement is required.

    Command    Operands

    VMPARM     RECx -SNAP nnnn- -CNCT nnnn- -FBLK nnnn- -WORK nnnn-

x (in RECx)

(required) specifies the desired format of the output account record. O causes an OS formatted account record to be created. D causes a VSE formatted account record to be created. G causes creation of a VSE glossary record compatible with CA JARS RA for z/VSE period processing.

SNAP nnnn

specifies the count of rejected or invalid records to be SNAP dumped. If omitted, the VM Interface will SNAP the first 10 records encountered. To suppress this option, specify: SNAP 0.

CNCT nnnn

specifies the maximum number of days considered valid for the connect time in a single type 01 VM accounting record. If a record is encountered with a larger connect time, it is snapped and ignored. If omitted, the CNCT value defaults to 7 days.

FBLK nnnn

specifies the number of FBA blocks to be considered as one cylinder. This number is only used if your data center allocates temporary disk on FBA devices. If you do not specify an FBLK value, the VM Interface uses 1000.

WORK nnnn

For VSE users, this keyword specifies the number of SORTWKn files specified in your execution JCL.
