Special parameters for product invocation CLISTs


The following table lists and explains the parameters that you can specify in the invocation statement for a BMC z/OS execution CLIST. The table includes:

  • Parameter names
  • Names of the CLISTs that accept the parameters
  • Brief explanations of the purposes of the parameters

Sample product invocation statements provides examples of specifying invocation statements with the parameters included.

The following table describes the parameters for BMC z/OS product invocation CLISTs:

CLIST Using

Explanation

DEBUG(ALL)

B1MVSGP
MVUIE

Used for problem diagnoses in the CLIST. It is used if any difficulty arises when trying to invoke a product. In debug mode, the CLIST lists all statements and displays messages on the terminal as it executes. The DEBUG parameter turns on LIST, SYMLIST, CONLIST, and MSG.

NOCONCAT

B1MVSGP MVUIE

Suppresses all ISPF file allocations, FREEs and LIBDEFs in the invoking CLIST. This parameter is used if the following is true:

  • If you allocate CLIST and ISPF libraries in your LOGON PROC or your own CLIST, then you must specify the NOCONCAT parameter.


Important

To use defaults supplied with each new release, delete or rename the members of your ISPF profile pool which are prefixed with BGS, BGSU, BSA, CHC, IOD, or GPM. If you want to preserve parameter settings and /or workload definitions made under an earlier release, be sure not to delete or rename these members. 

The following figure shows examples of product invocation statements, with various parameters included:

TSO EXEC 'hiqual.midqual.CLIST(B1MVSGP)' 'DEBUG(ALL) NOCONCAT'
TSO EXEC 'hiqual.midqual.CLIST(MVUIE)' 'DEBUG(ALL) NOCONCAT'
TSO EXEC 'hiqual.midqual.CLIST(MVUIE)'
