Issue/Introduction

SSM's SSMSHUTM TOD rule is issuing "OPS1097J ERROR 97 RUNNING SSM.SSMSHUTM, LINE 90: OVER 10000 CLAUSES EXECUTED" 

The AOFMAXCLAUSES is 10000 and this value can be overridden using the OPTIONS MAXCLAUSES instruction.

After raising the limit to 20000 using the instruction OPTIONS "MAXCLAUSES=20000" in the )INIT section of the SSMSHUTM rule the message OPS1097J ERROR 97 is still issued with the same count (10000).

Seems that the new value of 20000 is not taken into account.

 

Environment

Release : 14.0

Cause

For AOF rules the OPTIONS instruction applies to EACH rule section.  So for instance, if the OPTIONS instruction is coded in the )INIT section then those overridden limits apply to code that executes in the )INIT section.

The same applies to the )PROC and )TERM sections. 

The exception to this is that the FIRELIMIT and OPSWXTRN keywords apply overall for an AOF rule. 

Resolution

Move the OPTIONS "MAXCLAUSES=20000" instruction to the )PROC section of the SSMSHUTM rule.
