Syntax rules

The following table lists the keyword parameters in member $$INSYS0. The following syntax rules apply:

  • Keywords must be entered in the format keyword=value (for example, MSGID=NO).
  • Statements can be continued to the next line if they end with a comma.
  • Comment lines start with an asterisk.
  • Leading blanks prior to the first keyword are allowed.
  • Embedded blanks are not allowed; they terminate the scan of the statements.

Important

Route codes are used only when sending unsolicited messages (that is, when the messages are not in response to a request or command).

Keyword=value

Description

AEWALERT=NO | YES

Specifies whether Exception Monitor messages should be sent to Alert Manager or BMC AMI Ops Automation PASs that have ALRTRCVE=YES specified in BBISSPxx

Possible values are:

  • NO, does not send the Exception Monitor messages (default)
  • YES, sends the Exception Monitor messages

AEWNOROLL=0 | n

Specifies the number of Exception Monitor sampler messages not to roll

Possible values are:

  • 0, specifies that all messages roll (default)
  • n, specifies that n messages shall not roll, where n is a decimal number from 1 to 10

Important

The AEWNOROLL value can also be modified by using the SETOP service.

AEWSTART=00 | xx

Defines the suffix for the default PWSCPMxx member containing control statements for Exception Monitor samplers

Possible values are:

  • 00, uses Exception Monitor control statements in member PWSCPM00 in the BBPARM library (default)
  • xx, uses Exception Monitor control statements in member PWSCPMxx in the BBPARM library

CAPS=OFF | ON

Specifies how messages should be displayed

Possible values are:

  • OFF, messages are displayed in mixed case (default)
  • ON, messages are displayed in uppercase only

CMDID=char|WTOR

Defines an MVS subsystem command character

This keyword is valid in Started Task and Batch modes only.

Possible values are:

  • char, a command identification character to route commands to BMC AMI Ops SYSPROG Services using the MVS subsystem interface; valid command identification characters are | @ # % ¬ & * ( ) _ - + = ' . < > / ? ¢
  • WTOR, which issues a WTOR to prompt for command input when SYSPROG Services is operating as a batch job or started task

Important

When SYSPROG Services are operating within the BMC AMI Ops Monitor for z/OS product, you can use its command identification character to send commands to SYSPROG Services by prefixing the command with two command identification characters.

For example, if the command identification character is an at sign (@) and you want to execute the CSA,MAP command, enter the following string:

@@CSA,MAP

DUMP=NO | YES

Specifies whether or not an SVC dump should be created if a service abends

Possible values are:

  • NO, which does not create an SVC dump if a service abends
  • YES, which creates an SVC dump if a service abends (default)

You can use the SETOP service to override this value for an individual user.

DVTN=* | BBPARM | dsn

specifies where the Exception Monitor's DVTN sampler obtains the CONFIGxx member

  • *--specifies that the DVTN sampler uses the logical PARMLIB concatenation (previously known as SYS1.PARMLIB)

    This is the default.

  • BBPARM--specifies that the DVTN sampler uses the sames set of libraries that were searched to obtain the $$INSYS0 member
  • dsn--specifies that the DVTN sampler uses the specified data set

This data set is dynamically allocated and freed each time the DVTN sampler executes.

ECHO=ECHO|NOECHO

Specifies whether SYSPROG Services input (commands) should be written to the PAS job log

Possible values are:

  • ECHO, causes the commands that you enter to be written to the PAS job log (default)
  • NOECHO, causes the commands that you enter not to be written to the PAS job log

This parameter is applicable only in a PAS environment.

You can use the SETOP service to override this value for an individual user.

EOSMSG=NO | YES

Specifies whether SYSPROG Services issues an END OF SERVICE message at the completion of every service

This keyword is valid in Started Task, TSO, and Batch modes only. Possible values are:

  • NO, does not issue an END OF SERVICE message at the completion of every service (default)
  • YES, issues an END OF SERVICE message at the completion of every service

RWAIT=nn

Sets the global default value for how long (in seconds) the MCOMMAND service will wait for a response

Each user can use the SETOP service to specify a user-defined RWAIT value.

Specify a value between 0 and 15. The default value is 3 seconds.

LCLAEW=NORMAL |CONSOLE | BOTH

Defines where Exception Monitor sampler messages are displayed

When the Exception Monitor is operating within the PAS, the WARN view is used to view the warning messages on the console when you specify NORMAL. The CONSOLE and BOTH parameters also cause the messages to be displayed on the system console.

When SYSPROG Services is executed as a Started Task, the messages are sent only to the system console

LCLAEWTS=NO | YES

Specifies the Exception Monitor sampler messages have a time stamp

Possible values are:

  • NO, does not time stamp Exception Monitor sampler messages (default)
  • YES, time stamps Exception Monitor sampler messages

MSGID=YES | NO

Specifies whether message identification numbers prefix SYSPROG Services messages; not valid for TSO mode

Possible values are:

  • YES, message identification numbers prefix all messages (default)
  • NO, no message identification numbers prefix any messages

Message identification numbers appear in tracking output even if you specify MSGID=NO.

MLWTO=YES | NO

Specifies the method used to display message responses to services invoked by the following BMC AMI Ops Monitor for z/OS PAS command:

MODIFY <pasname>,R=

  • YES, multi-line WTO (MLWTO) is used (default)
  • NO, separate WTOs are used for each line of output

When you use the MLWTO form, the output is limited to 71 character on each line. This may cause the output to truncate on the right.

Important

This parameter is applicable only to the BMC AMI Ops Monitor for z/OS PAS environment.
