region parameter

hi,

if time & region parameter are coded on both job card & exec statement.

i know that time parameter coded on the step will override the time parameter coded on the job.

but i am having confusion in region parameter.whether job will override or step will override?

Hi,

The REGION value on the JOB statement overrides the REGION values on any EXEC statement in the job. The REGION= value coded on an EXEC statement in the job is only used if no REGION= value is coded on the JOB statement.

//MYJOB JOB (S-1300-556@@,RTEM),SMITH,CLASS=A,
// MSGLEVEL=1,REGION=1536K
//*
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,REGION=512K

The REGION= keyword on the job statement above overrides
the REGION= keyword on the EXEC statement in the job.

Thanks,
Reddy.

hi,

thanks for your reply

but i had one doubt.

if the job is having 5 steps.then i want to know that every step has 1536k or not ?

if yes if the paricular step is not using 1536k what will happen whether it will release thr storage?

JCL manual clearly states that JOB specification overrides EXEC specifications.

Hi Priyesh,

It might help if you told us the load module size, how many files (buffers) the pgm uses, has the pgm executed, if so, for how long (approx) before abending, what kind of system msgs are you getting?

I doubt that real storage is your problem since the region is allocated to your pgm on disk.

Hi,

when u r using a region parameter in steplib as well as joblib. in this situtalition joblib is over rides the steplib. when u r using time parameter for the both. steplib over rides the joblib.
