ESRCODE

Syntax

ESRCODE=nnn

Description

This statement specifies an ESR (extended SVC router) type-4 SVC route code to be used by CA Spool.

The system administrator responsible for the MVS system must decide which SVC number must be used.

Note:

If both the ESRCODE and SVCCODE statements are specified, the ESRCODE definition is used and the SVCCODE definition is ignored.
During startup CA Spool verifies whether the specified ESR number in the ESR table points to a valid CA Spool SVC routine.
If the ESR table entry corresponding to the specified ESR number is not in use, CA Spool dynamically loads the SVC routine module specified using the SVC parameter on the MODULES statement, into the CSA and updates the ESR table entry to point to it.
If an installation wants to pre-load the CA Spool SVC routine into the PLPA during IPL, the supplied ESFSVC module has to be renamed to the SVC module name matching the specified ESR number and made accessible using LPALSTxx or MLPA. For example, if ESRCODE=241 specified, then the corresponding CA Spool SVC module name must be IGX00241.
The lower limit is 200 and the upper limit is 255.

There is no default value.
