Issue/Introduction
How can you determine which Ideal Option values are being used in your CICS region or Ideal batch job?
Environment
Release: Ideal for Datacom
Resolution
This information can be obtained by issuing the command "DISPLAY AUTHORIZATION" from the Ideal command line. This information can also be obtained by dumping module @IIDOPTS in the CICS region or batch job and evaluating a particular offset (see the section below on alternative methods).
Ideal Command: DISPLAY AUTHORIZATION
The "DISPLAY AUTHORIZATION" command displays the current Ideal Option values (refer to the SITE OPTIONS section of the display).
Sample Output:

Ideal Options and Offsets
The Ideal Options are maintained in load module @IIDOPTS. These options can only be changed by modifying, reassembling and relinking module @IIDOPTS.
The options and their corresponding offsets in module @IIDOPTS follow below:
Ideal Option Offset in @IIDOPTS --------------- ------------------ DB2PLAN 6B DB2SYS 74 DFLTUSR A2 DVWLIB 30 IDENT 9C KEYUSE A1 LDMPPT A9 LMTBLD A8 MEMLIB 28 OBJLIB 38 PDLTRAN 88 PLALIB 63 PLTID 5C PLTLOAD 89 PLTSNON 8A PNLLIB 40 PSWCHK 73 PSWDIS 62 SECPRFX A5 SNONID 8B SORTLIB 94 SORTMS 50 SORTRC 8F SORTSZ 58 SORTWK 48 SORTWP 60 SRCLIB 30 UIDCHK A7
Alternative methods to obtain Ideal Option values
Ideal Option values can also be obtained by dumping module @IIDOPTS and evaluating the offsets listed above. The following methods can be used:
- From the Ideal command line, enter:
@I$SCF PGM=@IIDOPTS OFF=nn
where nn is the offset into @IIDOPTS(Ideal Administrator authority is required for this command.)
- From a native CICS environment that has Datacom/CICS Services installed in it, enter:
DBUT M=@IIDOPTS +nn
where nn is the offset into @IIDOPTS
Example: Obtaining the PLTLOAD Option Value
From the above table, the value of option PLTLOAD is located at offset 89. To obtain the value of PLTLOAD by dumping module @IIDOPTS, follow one of the below procedures.
- Enter the following on the Ideal command line:
(Note that this command can also be entered as a command in a Ideal batch job.)@I$SCF PGM=@IIDOPTS OFF=89
Output:---------------------------------------------------------------------- SCF Debug Address PGM= @IIDOPTS OFF= ______ USE= ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ 00000089 +000 D5E8C9C4 C9D50100 00000CC9 C4C4C1E3 *NYIDIN.....IDDAT* 00000099 +010 404040C9 C4C5C1D3 D55BC9C4 5BC9D5C4 * IDEALN$ID$IND* 000000A9 +020 D9000001 01000140 40404040 40404002 *R...... .*
- From a native CICS environment that has Datacom/CICS Services installed in it, enter:
DBUT M=@IIDOPTS +89
Output:DBUT M=@IIDOPTS +89 ADDRESS= ADDRESS OFFSET ------- DATA IN HEX FORMAT ------- -CHARACTER FORMAT +0 +4 +8 +C 0 4 8 C 000AECD9 +0089 D5E8C9C4 C9D50100 00000CC9 C4C4C1E3 *NYIDIN.....IDDAT* 000AECE9 +0099 404040C9 C4C5C1D3 D55BC9C4 5BC9D5C4 * IDEALN$ID$IND* 000AECF9 +00A9 D9000001 01000140 40404040 40404002 *R...... .*
In both examples, the EBCDIC value for PLTLOAD is "D5" which translates to character "N". This indicates that PLTLOAD is set to "NO" in this environment.
