XEQOPT

Syntax

XEQOPT=nn

Description

This parameter specifies special XEQ processing options.

Valid values are:

• 1—If the output limit has been exceeded, change the file destination, form, FCB or class as specified through the USERPARM parameter on the printer NODE definition. USERPARM=dest/form/fcb/class can be specified. If USERPARM is not specified, the system defaults to LOCAL and class Z. If an '*' is specified for any of the USERPARM fields then the original value of that field is retained.

  Note: The OUTLIM value specified at the printer NODE level must not exceed the value specified on the global OUTLIM parameter for this option to have the desired effect.

• 2—Route $$NODEST files to LOCAL in class Z.
• 3—Hold the file if the printer node output limit has been exceeded.

  Note: The OUTLIM value specified at the printer NODE level must not exceed the value specified on the global OUTLIM parameter for this option to have the desired effect.

• 4—If a file is opened with a destination equal to the NJENAME, the writer name is used as the destination.
• 5—Truncate trailing bytes containing binary zeroes (X'00') during ESFWRIT calls.
• 6—Disallow use of unqualified DF commands for authorized users.
• 7—Always allocate file sequence numbers in ascending order.
• 8—Automatically purge files, which have been opened for output and closed, but contain no records (that is, empty files).
• 9—Set PRMODE (PAGE) for files with LRECL>252/253, if not already set.
• 10—Force PRMODE (PAGE) for files with LRECL>252/253, even if it is already set.
• 11—Allow CICS tasks to supply the user ID and account number when creating spool files.
• 12—Use enhanced CA Spool VTAM Console Sign-on Prompt Format.
• 13—Force LRECL 252/253 if PRMODE=LINE or PRMODE has not been specified..
• 14—Force PRMODE(PAGE) for files with LRECL>252/253, if they are targeted for an FSS printer.
• 15—Send a "ESF831 END-OF-DISPLAY" message at the end of the response for D,*ACT, D,*ALL and D,G=x display commands.
• 16—For files with LRECL<=253, copy the max LRECL to field FQELRECL.
• 17—Perform REINIT of printer node parameters modifiable on the Menu system: CLASS, FCB, FORM, NJEDEST, SEP and TRANS, if another NODE parameter is also updated.
• 18—Let the PURGELIM= parameter causing ONLY HELD NON-PRINTED files be purged.
• 19—Move FCB name in as PAGEDEF to force A2PC transformation.
• 20—Bypass the DESTID FDEST merge at file Close time. Other DESTID file attributes, such as CLASS or HOLD, continue to be processed.
• 21—Force FQELRECL, the file's LRECL at open time, to be used for formatting instead of FQEMRECL, the length of the longest data record within the file.
• 22—Bypass sort of printer nodes in ascending order.
• 23—Use OUTLIM of 2,147,438,647 when combined with OUTLIM=16777215.
• 24—Perform REINIT of printer node parameters modifiable on the Menu system: CLASS, FCB, FORM, NJEDEST, SEP and TRANS, even if no other NODE parameter is also updated.
• 25—Open and close up to 255 virtual printer ACB's at a time and skip cleanup of virtual printer ACB's if SHUTDOWN,F command is used.
• 26—Issue message 'ESF799 JOBN oooooooo TRANSFERRED VIA SUBSYS TO ssss DESTINATION dddddddd FILE nnnnnn' if files are created via the SUBSYS interface or the Call interface.
• 27—If the OUTPUT JCL statement NAME parameter is specified copy it to the programmer's name field.
• 28—Allows CICS applications to write files record lengths up to the size of the CA Spool BUFSIZE. Files with LRECL values greater, than the BUFSIZE will have to be assigned a PRMODE value of PAGE using a DESTID statement, or, by using XEQOPT=9 or 10. An ESFOPEN RC=10 will result, if the LRECL exceeds the BUFSIZE and the PRMODE is not set to PAGE.
• 29—Monitor SYSOUT Allocation Intercept response time and issue message ESF538 if CA Spool has not responded to an allocation request within 60 seconds.
• 30—Set the lrecl to the largest possible value that the BUFSIZE parameter will permit when the PRMODE for incoming files is blank or equal to LINE. That value is equal to the BUFSIZE minus the fixed portion of each Spool buffer that is used by CA Spool to store information about its format and contents. This option takes precedence over XEQOPTs 9, 10, 13 and 14.
