VRM Device Control - Activation

VRM device control comprises two functions: definition and submission control. Either or both of these functions can be activated depending on installation needs. Activation of these functions is indicated by keyword values on the OPTIONS statement in the CA WA CA 7 Edition initialization file.

If VRMDD=D is specified, VRM devices are dynamically defined during LOAD completion, however they are ignored during job submission. If VRMDD=S is specified, no VRM devices are dynamically defined, however any existing VRM device definitions are respected during job submission. VRMDD=Y indicates that both functions are in effect.

By default, VRM devices are not dynamically defined nor are they modified during submission. Unless VRM device control is indicated by VRMDD=Y or S, any RCT resource name beginning with 'VRMDD.' is ignored during submission.
