Mainframe Enablers TimeFinder SnapVX and zDP 8.5 Product Guide

The EMCSNAPO macro lists all site options that you can change. (Many of these site options are also parameters of the GLOBAL command.) For each site option, the macro lists:

• A short form of the site option name with the default value in the form: &SHORTFORM=DEFAULT
• The full name of the site option
• A list of possible values

For example, the macro listing for the AUTOMATIC_DEALLOC parameter is:

&AUTODEAL=YES,      AUTOMATIC_DEALLOC             (Y/N) 

To change a parameter setting, use member #91SNPJB supplied in the RIMLIB and add the parameter to the EMCSNAPO statement and then run the job. Then issue the SCF INI,RELOAD command or restart SCF.

For example, the default value for the macro &AUTODEAL is YES. To change this setting to NO, you would add AUTODEAL=NO to the EMCSNAPO statement.

Before:

EMCSNAPO DSECT=NO

After:

EMCSNAPO AUTODEAL=NO,DSECT=NO

Member #91SNPJB runs the IBM assembler, and the EMCSNAPO statement must follow the IBM assembler rules for coding. This requirement especially applies to the statement continuation, placing a character in column 72 to indicate continuation and continuing in column 16 of the next line. DSECT=NO must always be present.

For example:

         v - column 10
               v - column 16                   v - column 72
         EMCSNAPO DATACLAS=ABC,                X
               MGMTCLAS=DEF,                   X
               STORCLAS=GHI,                   X
               DSECT=NO
