STATUS—Control Options Settings

Valid on z/OS and z/VM.

Use the STATUS control option to provide the current settings of various control options. You can specify which option to display when you enter a TSS MODIFY(STATUS) command.

Change the default by specifying STATUS(option,option,...) in your PARMFILE.

The options listed in the STATUS control option can be in any order, and the output is presented in the order used in the control option.

The TSS MODIFY(STATUS) command can include a single option to display only that information requested, or to acquire information not set in the STATUS control option. For example, the TSS MODIFY(STATUS(JES)) will show the JES information.

All entry methods are accepted.

In z/OS this control option has the following format:
