Override the Default Processing of GDIF

You can use the LOCAL and GLOBAL statements to override the values on your DEFAULT statement. Use the LOCAL statement to treat certain ENQ requests as local requests and the GLOBAL statement to propagate certain ENQ and RESERVE requests globally.

The number of LOCAL or GLOBAL statements you need to use depends on what values you specified on your DEFAULT statement. If you specified GLOBAL on both DEFAULT statement parameters, then you can specify a single LOCAL statement to stop GDIF from propagating an ENQ request.

However, to propagate requests when you specified LOCAL for both parameters, you need to specify two GLOBAL statements: one statement that overrides the RESOURCE parameter, and a second statement that overrides the JOB parameter.
