GRPLIM keyword

Use the GRPLIM keyword to specify the maximum number of asynchronous tasks, within a GROUP, that are allowed to execute concurrently.

If the number of tasks to be performed exceeds the value specified with this keyword, the excess tasks will wait. When an active task terminates, one of the waiting tasks will be allowed to execute. This process repeats until all of the tasks have completed.

If you specify GRPLIM with a nonblank value, all functions within the GROUP will be processed asynchronously. This means that synchronous commands, such as IC, are treated as if you specified the asynchronous form of the command, such as AIC. The utility ignores any WAIT control statements used within the GROUP.

If you do not specify GRPLIM, or you specify a blank value, the normal rules of synchronous and asynchronous processing are used, and no limit is placed on the number of concurrently executing asynchronous tasks.

Uses

  • GLBL
  • GROUP
