The Batch Interface › PARM Parameters › ACBNAME

ACBNAME

Identifies the VTAM ACBNAME opened by CA XCOM Data Transport.

xxxxxxxx

Specifies up to eight alphanumeric characters that identify the VTAM ACBNAME.

Notes:

• If the ACBNAME is seven or eight characters, CA XCOM Data Transport assumes it is an exact name. If it is six characters or less, CA XCOM Data Transport assumes it is a generic name and appends a two‑digit numeric suffix from 00 to 99. This suffix is derived from the number of batch jobs still in the process of being executed. The indicated ACBNAME must be a valid VTAM ACBNAME; otherwise the transfer fails and error messages are written to the job log.
• Only one file transfer using the APPLID can be active at a time. All others wait until the APPLID becomes available (no time‑out occurs in this case). We recommend indicating a generic APPLID, because it allows up to 1000 concurrent file transfers.
• Leaving this parameter unspecified allows the value of the JOBACB parameter in the CA XCOM Data Transport Default Options Table to govern.

CMPRS_PDS_ALLOW

To enable CA XCOM Data Transport to perform programmatic PDS compression for a user, your site administrator must set the CMPRS_PDS_ALLOW parameter to a value other than NO.

Note: The EXEC PARM parameter values take precedence over the corresponding values in the Default Options Table.

NO

Disables the compression function within the servers to which it applies.

YES

Allows users to request PDS compression on a transfer-by-transfer basis, or by using a DEST member.

Note: This setting also implicitly provides automatic compression in response to an out-of-space condition.

X37

Automatically invokes PDS compression if a z/OS system abend B37, D37, or E37 occurs during a transfer into a PDS data set.

Default: NO

Notes:

• The EXEC PARM parameter values take precedence over the corresponding values in the Default Options Table.
• if the retry also results in an out-of-space condition, any retryable transfer that is a result of an automatic compression from an out-of-space condition. Such as #XCOMM0221E DATASET OUT OF SPACE - PDS DATASET WILL BE COMPRESSED is terminated.

CMPRS_SYSOUT_CL

This parameter controls whether and to which SYSOUT class IEBCOPY output is written.

NONE

Prevents the output from the compress operation from being written to a SYSOUT data set.

LOG

Allocates a SYSOUT data set with the same output class as specified for the XCOMLOG SYSOUT data set.

<class>

Allocates a SYSOUT data set to hold the compress utility output with the class on this parameter.

Range: A single character (A to Z or 0 through 9).

Default: LOG

Notes:

• The EXEC PARM parameter values take precedence over the corresponding values in the Default Options Table.
• Important! if the IEBCOPY utility terminates abnormally, particularly during the process of compressing a PDS data set, IBM documentation warns of potential damage to data sets.
