CMD

Specifies that normal EXEC processing is in effect

Default

LIST

Lists every EXEC command in the BBI-SS PAS log

n/a

NOCMD

No action commands are processed

When NOCMD is in effect in the current CLIST, the following IMFEXEC commands are not executed: CMD, CICSTRAN, IMSTRAN, JESSUBM, RES CMD, RES EXIT, RES VCOMMAND, and RES VMCMD.

A message is printed in the BBI-SS PAS Journal log informing you that the command would have been executed if this control request were not in effect. This method is an easy way to test new EXECs.

NOLIST

Normal EXEC processing is in effect

Default

PERLIM

Specifies the CPU percentage limit for the EXEC

If the CPU usage of an EXEC exceeds this value in any 15 second interval after the EXEC begins, the EXEC will be terminated.

The CPU percentage is calculated based on the total CPU time available on 1 CPU within that 15 second interval. For example, 20% means 20% of 15 seconds. If the CPU time exceeds 3 seconds with any given 15 second interval, the EXEC will be terminated.

The maximum CPU percentage usable is 100%, even on multiprocessor machines.

Specifying 0 means no CPU percentage checking is performed.

TIMLIM

Specifies the CPU time limit for the EXEC

If the EXEC exceeds this value in CPU seconds, it is terminated.

Specifying 0 means no CPU time checking is performed.

ELAPSLIM

Specifies the time limit for the EXEC

SELLIM

Limits the number of nested EXECs in the current EXEC thread.

This parameter applies only to nested EXECs scheduled with the IMFEXEC SELECT command using WAIT(YES).

Specifying 0 means no limit checking is performed.

MAXTPUT

Limits the number of TPUTs that can be issued from the current EXEC.

TPUTs occur when a REXX EXEC uses the TRACE command and when there are TSO/E error messages.

Specifying 0 means no limit checking is performed.

The use of the PERLIM, TIMLIM, SELLIM, ELAPSLIM, and MAXTPUT parameters in an EXEC overrides corresponding parameters set in the BBPARM member (as well as those dynamically updated by using the Dynamic Parameter Manager application) as follows:

PERLIM overrides BBPARM member AAOEXPxx setting PEREXLIM

TIMLIM overrides BBPARM member AAOEXPxx setting TIMEXLIM

ELAPSLIM overrides BBPARM member AAOEXPxx setting ELAPSLIM

SELLIM overrides BBPARM member AAOEXPxx setting SELLIM

MAXTPUT overrides BBPARM member AAOEXPxx setting MAXTPUT

GLOBAL

Propagate CNTL settings to all called EXECs.

When set, any EXEC scheduled through the IMFEXEC SELECT command inherits the CNTL settings of the current EXEC.

LOCAL

All settings are local to this EXEC.

CNTL settings will not be propagated to EXECs called by this EXEC.

ERR

Messages EM0022E and EM0025I are written to the journal.

ERR is the default.

NOERR

Suppresses messages EM0022E and EM0025I from the journal

When NOERR is specified, the messages EM0022E and EM0025I will be suppressed for IMFEXEC statements only. The EM0022E and EM0025I messages are still issued for TSO and REXX statements.

When NOERR is specified, the REXX Hostfail code (R15=16) is not set. Neither FAILURE nor ERROR conditions are set for the REXX instructions SIGNAL or CALL. The IMFCC variable must be used to check for error conditions.

0

Command was executed.

8

Invalid syntax was used.
