GLVSHAREDTASK Parameter

The GLVSHAREDTASK parameter controls the availability and features of the VSAM shared file support task. This task is attached at product initialization. Both the OPSHFI POI command and OPS/REXX function queue shared file requests to this task and, optionally, wait for a result. If the shared file task is not used, you can save a considerable amount of virtual storage overhead by not starting this task or by prohibiting the execution of GLV AOF rules by the READ function of the OPSHFI command.

Default

GLVRULES

The shared file task is attached, and it can execute GLV rules. GLVRULES requires a large amount of virtual storage, more than any other value.

Other possible values

At initialization
