Installation options module ALPOPTS (optsMod)

The ALPOPTS parameter directs Log Master to use an alternative installation options module for this job instead of the default module, ALP$OPTS.

The optsMod name can be up to eight characters long. Log Master responds to the name length and content as follows:

  • If the name is ‘*’, as in ALPOPTS(*), then Log Master does not load an options module but simply uses the default values as indicated in the Installation options module. Alternatively, the single keyword DFLTOPTS might be specified and is equivalent to ALPOPTS(*)

  • If the name is more than four characters long, then Log Master loads the specified Installation options module.

  • If the name is four characters long or less, then Log Master interprets the name as a suffix override for the Installation options module. For example, specifying ALPOPTS(TEMP) causes Log Master to load ALP$TEMP as the installation options module.

Use an alternative installation options module to specify the option values that you need for a specific type of job. For example:

  • If a job requires a large amount of row completion processing, increase the values of the KSMEMORY installation options. This specific parameter can also be overridden by STOREOPTS statement at runtime.

  • If a job requires a different value for an installation option, but you cannot change the value by using syntax in the SYSIN input, use a different installation options module. You can override many installation options in the SYSIN input, but not all of them. For example, you cannot override the CMPLGRNG installation option.

For more information about the options that you cannot override and the content of the installation options module, see Installation option descriptions.
