Starting a BBI-SS PAS

Use the following procedure to start a BBI-SS PAS session.

BBSAMP member IIZJCL contains sample JCL to start a BBI-SS PAS. You can edit this sample JCL to create a procedure and to identify the type of start.

The PROC statement activates the BBI-SS PAS as a Started Task.

Note

The BBLINK library must be authorized; otherwise, initialization fails.
The default region size is 64 MB to enable product access to sufficient extended storage. Storage is allocated only when needed.

To start the BBI-SS PAS

Issue the START command:S procname[.id][,SSID=ssid][,START=type], replacing the variables according to the following table:

Variable	Description
procname	Specify the name of the startup procedure for the PAS
id	(optional) Assign an arbitrary ID to the PAS Started Task
SSID=ssid	(optional) Specify the subsystem ID for your system. This parameter overrides the subsystem ID specified in the PROC member.
START=type	(optional) Specify the type of BBI-SS PAS startup where *type* can be one of the following values: WARM reuses control blocks previously obtained in CSA. A warm start is the default and should be used whenever possible. COLD frees control blocks held by any previous BBI-SS PAS and obtains new control blocks. FREE frees control blocks in the same manner as a cold start and terminates the BBI-SS PAS immediately after the storage is freed. KILL removes the BBI-SS PAS from the system, as if it were never started, and leaves control blocks allocated. Use the KILL option only in an emergency, when the PAS cannot be restarted by any other method. The next time the BBI-SS PAS is started, an automatic cold start is performed.
