Task 4—Executing the batch set options program
Summary: In this task, you will execute the batch Set Options (COPBSET) program.
This task is optional. Usually, it is not necessary to run COPBSET unless you want to preset Optimizer options before the Optimizer is started. You can also run this batch program when you do not want to set options through the Monitor.
Before You Begin
The batch Set Options program COPBSET changes options in the COPOPT options file, according to the parameters that are specified in your batch JCL. Some of these options can also be set through the Monitor, while other options are available only through execution of COPBSET.
Some options can be set in batch only. Most of these options should be set under the direction of BMC Customer Support only.
Below table lists options that can be changed on the Monitor panels:
Monitor Panel Options That Can Be Changed
Panel | Option Controlled Through the Monitor |
|---|---|
Initialization Options | Change
|
Option 1.1.1 | Turn on or turn off Global Optimization Control
|
Options 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 | Turn on or turn off
|
Option 1.3.1 | Turn on or turn off SCS Printer Optimization |
Options 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 | Change
|
Option 1.6.3 | Change
|
The option to display text on the Monitor panels in uppercase characters or mixed-case characters is not available from the Monitor panels.
DISPLAY UPPER/LOWER is the default option.
For example, if DISPLAY UPPERCASE is specified, the words SCS Horizontal Tabs are displayed as SCS HORIZONTAL TABS. This option does not apply to the F6=Case function key. This key affects the data that a terminal operator enters.
Guidelines for using the batch set options program
Adapt the control statements in Table Control Statements for COPBSET to your site. Observe the following guidelines:
- If you have specified a password through the Monitor, include the PASSWORD control statement, followed by your password. You must provide this entry to set the options only if you have an existing COPOPT options file. The PASSWORD control statement does not create a password for the Monitor.
- To use the default options, specify only DEFAULT OPTIONS. The DEFAULT OPTIONS control statement overrides all other options.
- IMAGING STORAGE can be 0 to 2097144 for MVS/ESA, OS/390, and z/OS environments.

Below tables lists the control statement syntax for the COPBSET Set Options program. The default setting for the option is underlined.
