FINAL -- DISP

This input field indicates the action to be taken when all ARF responses have been issued. The valid values are the following:

N

Take no action, the job is left for manual recovery. Subsequent restarts will continue to be monitored by ARF. N is the default.

R

Restart the job using the CA WA CA 7 Edition top-line RESTART command. Additional parms for the command can be supplied using other input fields in the final disposition section. The JCL override requirement will always be posted if this option is used. This is not valid for an IS condition.

C

Cancel the job using the CA WA CA 7 Edition top-line CANCEL command.

F

Force completion of this job using the RESTART command with the FORCECOMP option.

P

Issue an ARFP command to purge ARF records for this job. Subsequent restarts will not be monitored by ARF.

Default: N (no action)

Limits: Required if condition type is IS or JC. Ignored for all other condition types.

Batch keyword: DSP

CA-11?

(Optional) This input field indicates whether CA WA Restart Option is to be used for restart. The valid values are the following:

N

No, CA WA Restart Option is not to be used for restart. This is the default.

Y

Yes, CA WA Restart Option is to be used for restart. Other input values in the final disposition section may be relevant.

Default: N (CA WA Restart Option not used)

Limits: Required only if CA WA Restart Option is to be used for restart.

Batch keyword: CA11

BYPGDG

(Optional) This input field indicates the value on the RESTART command. For more information, see the documentation on the RESTART command.

Valid values are the following:

C

CA WA Restart Option to accept GDG bias resolution according to the MVS catalog (CAT option of CA WA Restart Option).

N

This is the default. CA WA Restart Option should NOT bypass GDG logic on restart.

V

CA WA Restart Option to verify that the GDG bias resolution recorded in the CMT agrees with the MVS catalog (VER option of CA WA Restart Option).

Y

Yes, CA WA Restart Option should bypass GDG logic on restart.

Default: N (CA WA Restart Option will not bypass GDG logic)

Batch keyword: BYPGDG

USAGE

(Optional) Supplies the value of the USAGE parameter to be used on the RESTART command. For values, see the CA WA Restart Option documentation. This option honored only if CA WA Restart Option used and CA WA CA 7 Edition is inserting the RMS step. For more information, see the documentation on the INSERT-RMS field of the DB.1 panel and on the RESTART command.

Limits: 1 alphanumeric character

Batch keyword: USAGE

PROCESS

(Optional) Supplies the value of the PROCESS parameter to be used on the RESTART command. This option honored only if CA WA Restart Option used and CA WA CA 7 Edition is inserting the RMS step. Valid values are F, P, S, N, O or R. For more information, see the documentation on the INSERT-RMS field of the DB.1 panel and on the RESTART command.

Limits: 1 alphanumeric character

Batch keyword: PROCESS

CC

(Optional) Supplies the value of the CONDCD parameter to be used on the RESTART command. This option honored only if CA WA Restart Option used and CA WA CA 7 Edition is inserting the RMS step. For more information, see the documentation on the INSERT-RMS field of the DB.1 panel and on the RESTART command.

Limits: 1 to 4 alphanumeric characters from 0-4095

Batch keyword: CC

START

(Optional) Supplies values of the PROCSTRT and STPSTRT parameters on the RESTART command. This option honored only if CA WA Restart Option used.

The format of the START value is 'procstep.step' where 'procstep' is the value of the PROCSTRT keyword and 'step' is the value of the STPSTRT keyword. If the value of this field does not contain a '.' then it is assumed that the input applies only to the STPSTRT keyword. If the step number is used, then PROCSTRT cannot be used.

For more information, see the documentation on the RESTART command.

Limits: 1 to 17 alphanumeric characters. If procstep reference is provided, a '.' must separate procstep name and step name. You should validate this value prior to use to ensure that the steps named here are used by the job that uses this ARFSET.

Batch keyword: START

END

(Optional) Supplies values of the PROCEND and STPEND parameters on the RESTART command. This option honored only if CA WA Restart Option used.

The format of the END value is 'procstep.step' where 'procstep' is the value of the PROCEND keyword and 'step' is the value of the STPEND keyword. If the value of this field does not contain a '.' then it is assumed that the input applies only to the STPEND keyword. If the step number is used, then PROCEND cannot be used.

For more information, see the documentation on the RESTART command.

Limits: 1 to 17 alphanumeric characters. If procstep reference is provided, a '.' must separate procstep name and step name. You should validate this value prior to use to ensure that the steps named here are used by the job that uses this ARFSET.

Batch keyword: END
