Issue/Introduction

Can I override a sysparm within my input JCL? What format do I use for this?

Resolution

Disk allows the user to supply an input stream of system parameter overrides through the SYSPARMS DD statement. Sysparms specified in the DD override will supplement those specified in your sysparms member of parmlib or override them if already present. The following example shows an override of the sysparm FLYCOUNT to a value of 0. The actual SYSPARMS member will need to be changed in order for Disk to accept the input stream changes. This sysparm is called SYSPARMO and will need to be set as SYSPARMOY for overriding the sysparms within the input JCL. The format for the sysparms override is as follows:

//SYSPARMS DD *FLYCOUNT0/*
