Change the Values of the OSFMIN and OSFMAX Parameters

To change the value of the OSFMIN parameter, issue this command:

OPSPARM SET(OSFMIN) VALUE(minimumvalue)

To change the value of the OSFMAX parameter, issue this command:

OPSPARM SET(OSFMAX) VALUE(maximumvalue)

CA OPS/MVS reacts immediately to changes in the OSFMIN and OSFMAX parameter values. At no time can the value of OSFMIN be greater than that of OSFMAX. Thus to maintain the integrity of these parameters, you must take care when changing their settings.

For example, if both parameters are set to 1, and you want to change the value of OSFMIN to 3 and the value of OSFMAX to 5, then you must issue the OPSPARM command to change the value of the OSFMAX parameter first. Then issue the OPSPARM command to change the value of OSFMIN to 3. Issuing the commands in this order ensures that the value of OSFMIN is never greater than that of OSFMAX.
