Initialization File Changes

The initialization file has several changes with this version. Several statements are removed, while new keywords are added to existing statements. We recommend that you make a copy of the current initialization file and modify it for Version 12.0.

Important! Save a copy of the current r11.3 initialization file in case you must revert (fall back) to the r11.3 release.

Changes in the initialization file include the following items:

• The removal of the FORMAT statements for queues because queues are part of the CA Datacom/AD database.
• The DAIO statement is modified to remove the SWFTRK/SCRTRK keywords. These keywords specified the maximum number of tracks to assign to each scratch work file. The scratch work file space is now kept in 64-bit virtual storage.
• The OPTIONS statement adds the SUBSEL keyword to denote the method for which the next job is selected for submission.
• On the OPTIONS statement, the SHUTDOWN keyword ignores the obsolete DMPQ value.
• The INIT statement changes the TYPE=MOVQ, which defaults to TYPE=ERST unless overridden on the JCL execution parameter.
