Panel A.I.4.2 – Set FDR Global General Options

These options are used by many FDR programs. A few of them are used with FDRPAS, FDRMOVE, and FDRERASE. They can be displayed or changed on the following panel.

FDRCC

If an error occurs during execution of FDRPAS, FDRMOVE, or FDRERASE that is not severe enough to cause immediate termination, the program completes processing and then issues an ABEND or sets a return code to call attention to the error. The default “ABEND” causes an ABEND U0888. If you wish a return code instead of the ABEND, set any desired value from 8 to 255.

SELTERR

FDRERASE produces a diagnostic message if an offline DASD device was specified but it was not eligible to be erased. If set to “YES”, FDRERASE considers this a possible user error and causes a return code or U0888 ABEND at step end to draw attention to it. If you do not want to consider this an error condition, change SELTERR to “NO” (the diagnostic message is still printed but it is not considered an error). This option can be overridden at execution time.

ROUTECODE

DESCRIPTCODE

The Write-To-Operator (WTO) routing and descriptor codes used for most of the operator messages in FDRPAS, FDRMOVE, and FDRERASE can be changed. Multiple codes can be specified for each. The routing and descriptor codes are documented in the IBM manual z/OS MVS Routing and Descriptor Codes (SA22-7624) and are used by z/OS to control on which consoles the messages appear, and how they are displayed.

The default routing codes of “2” (operator information) and “11” (programmer information) normally ensure that the messages appear on a system console and also in the JOBLOG of the job. If you do not want the operator to see these messages, you can change the routing codes to just “11”. However, depending on system console definitions, routing code “11” WTO messages may still appear on a system console.
