QUICKREFTYPE Parameter

This parameter determines the location from which MVS/QuickRef extracts information about the CA OPS/MVS own messages.

The QUICKREFTYPE parameter was designed because the MVS/QuickRef database almost never corresponds exactly to the particular release of CA OPS/MVS that you are running. Therefore, it does not contain current product message information. The TSO HELP file, which contains a HELP member for each product message, is kept current with each product maintenance tape, and is therefore a more accurate source of information about the product messages.

We strongly recommend that you allow the value of the QUICKREFTYPE parameter to default.

The output that is displayed will be slightly different depending on which value you specify.
