INSTDATA—Global Installation Area

Valid on z/OS.

Use the INSTDATA control option to control the value of a 4 byte global installation data area. Data is entered in the control option in a hexadecimal character string as 1 to 4 pairs of hexadecimal nibbles. This data is passed to the CA Top Secret Installation Exit TSSINSTX. The global INSTDATA control option is unrelated to the ACID Installation Data (INSTDATA) keyword, which can be added or removed from individual ACIDS.

All entry methods are accepted.

This control option has the following format:

INSTDATA(0|XXXX...)
0

(Default) Resets the field to zero.

XXXX

Alters the value to hexadecimal xx, where each xx is 1 to 4 pairs of hexadecimal digits.
