Issue/Introduction

We would like to start using SAREAS.

What all is needed to use it?

Environment

Release : 14.0

Resolution

To implement SAREAS, you only need to start a SAREAS task:

//SAREAS PROC TYPE=ONLY
//SAREAS EXEC PGM=SAREAS,TIME=1440,
// PARM=('T=&TYPE',    TYPE is ONLY by default, changeable at startup
// 'E=LEAS',    EASTNAME is LEAS
// 'C=XCF',    COMM is XCF
// 'MA=1800',    MAXIDLE is 30 minutes
// 'MI=10',    MINIDLE is 10 seconds
// 'NB=200',    NBUF is 200 buffers
// 'NREA=5',    NREAD is 5 reads at a time
// 'NREQ=300',    NREQ is 300 process request entries
// 'NT=12'),    NTHREADS is 12 tape threads (drives)
//STEPLIB DD DSN=CAI.CVDELOAD,DISP=SHR    <=== Modify, if used
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=A
//

Note: The above parameters are default values.
