SMFX37A parameters used with StopX37/II

During initialization, the SMFX37A program processes control parameters that are passed to the routine by the PARM field on the EXEC statement.

These parameters are used to specify site-dependent options. The following table lists the parameters and their default values.

SMFX37A parameters

Parameter

Purpose

Default

Format

COST

This parameter specifies the average dollar cost per hour for personnel to fix a VSAM extend failure or a job that resulted in a B37/D37/E37 abend.

COST=50

Any numeric value

CPU

This parameter specifies the average dollar cost per hour for lost CPU time from a job that resulted in a B37/D37/E37 abend.

CPU=250

Any numeric value

CURSIGN

This statement specifies the currency symbol to be printed in the output report.

  • UK and Irish pound sign, the Italian lire, and the Japanese yen are assigned to the EBCDIC code X'5B' and, therefore, print correctly without specifying a value.
  • The currency symbol can be one or two alphanumeric characters.
  • If two characters are specified, the currency symbol is printed following the value (for example, 1000EU).
CURSIGN=$

(U. S. dollar)

CURSIGN=xx

xx represents the 1- to 2-character currency symbol.

Note: To indicate euros, use CURSIGN = EU.

PEOPLE

This parameter specifies the average amount of time that someone needs to fix a VSAM extend failure or a job that resulted in a B37/D37/E37 abend.

The time is specified in minutes.

PEOPLE=30

Any numeric value

SYSIN

This parameter indicates that parameters are being provided through the SYSIN DD statement instead of the JCL PARM field.

  • Parameters that are coded in the SYSIN DD statement file may start in any column.
  • One or more parameters may be coded per card image, but no parameter may span a card boundary.
  • Cards that begin with an asterisk (*) in column 1 are treated as comments.
  • All parameter options and SYSIN card images are printed on the SMFX37A report for reference.

Note: When SYSIN is coded, it should be the only parameter that is coded on the EXEC PARM parameter.

None

The following sample shows how to code parameters by using SYSIN:

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=SMFX37A,PARM=SYSIN
//SYSIN DD *
COST=25,CURSIGN=DM

VSAM

This parameter specifies if VSAM failures are to be included in the report.

VSAM=YES
YES|NO|Y|N
