VRM Device Control Functions - Submission Control

If VRMDD=Y or VRMDD=S is coded on the OPTIONS statement in the CA WA CA 7 Edition initialization file, jobs are not submitted unless all required VRM devices are available. Each VRM device definition is modified based on the GROUP name that is associated with the device in SASSDTAB. For example, after a job is loaded, its RM.1 panel displays the following entries:

   VRMDD.D3390000F.UDISK/0001
   VRMDD.D3338000E.USYSDA/0001

When VRM attempts to submit the job, it associates all of the resources according to the groups defined in SASSDTAB. Thus these entries are reduced to one:

   VRMDD.ANYUNIT/0002

This is the resource name that is displayed on RM.3 and RM.5. RM.7 must be updated with sufficient quantities of the VRMDD.ANYUNIT resource for the job to be submitted.
