SVCCODE

Syntax

SVCCODE=nnn

Description

This statement specifies either a user SVC number to be used by CA Spool. The system administrator responsible for the MVS system must decide which SVC number must be used.

The lower limit is 200 and the upper limit is 255. The default value is 255.

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 if the specified SVC number in the SVC table points to a valid CA Spool SVC routine.
• If the SVC table entry corresponding to the specified SVC 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 SVC 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 SVC number and made accessible using LPALSTxx or MLPA. For example, if SVCCODE=241 is specified, then the corresponding CA Spool SVC module name must be IGC0024A.
