Overriding the MEMLIMIT system parameter
The utility requires above-the-bar memory and might abend if sufficient memory is not available.
The default value for the System Management Facility (SMF) MEMLIMIT parameter is 2 GB. This value is set in member SMFPRMxx in SYS1.PARMLIB.
To override the default MEMLIMIT value
Use one of the following methods to override the default MEMLIMIT value:
- (recommended) Specify REGION=0M in the JCL.
- Specify the one of the following values for the MEMLIMIT parameter in the JCL, or in an SMF IEFUSI exit:
- Specify NOLIMIT to allow unlimited above-the-bar memory.
- If you are unable to specify NOLIMIT, specify at least 4 GB. If you are operating on LOB or XML data, specify at least 32 GB.
