OPSTART1RESVAL Parameter

This parameter enables the CA OPS/MVS initialization CLIST (OPSTART1), initialization REXX program (OPSSPA00), or both, to pass a result value back to CA OPS/MVS.

If you specify SHUTDOWN (in uppercase characters) as the first eight characters of the value of the OPSTART1RESVAL parameter, CA OPS/MVS issues message OPS0032I and terminates immediately after the completion of the initialization CLIST or REXX program. Message OPS0032I includes the last eight characters of the OPSTART1RESVAL parameter value, which you can set to indicate the reason for the CA OPS/MVS termination.

For example, in case the allocation of the SYSCHK1 data set in OPSSPA00 ever fails, you can set the OPSTART1RESVAL parameter to SHUTDOWNSYSCHK1 to prevent CA OPS/MVS from initializing without the necessary global variables and relational tables, and to identify SYSCHK1 as the problem.

Note: The default OPSSPA00 has been changed to do this.

You can also use the OPSTART1RESVAL parameter to set an arbitrary value during initialization that you can use during later processing.

Example: OPSTART1RESVAL

This function causes CA OPS/MVS to issue message OPS0032I and terminate immediately after the completion of the initialization CLIST or REXX program. Message OPS0032I contains a reference to SYSCHK1.
