Paul:
That would not really work to well. An additional parameter on the DD
statement would not allow for dynamic allocation and it would
endlessly make dynamic allocate a PITA especially when you have to re-
invent the input scanning for each utility.
Where it *MIGHT* work would be something like a new reserved dd name
like sysconf and you could either make it at the job or step level.
I would prefer to see it as a system (sysplex?) wide option.

That option should likewise be available on SVC 99, and on the ENQ
macro itself.
I could just as easily see an implementation that supported an
integer,
with the extreme values (0, max) corresponding to SILENT and REPORT,
with intermediate values being the number of messages you want to
see
(per DD or per step?).
Agreed. At our site we have MIM, which sends an alert not just
once, but
every sixty seconds, to the culprit and to the victim and to the
operator's
console; job log or culprit's TSO session.
But not to a z/OS UNIX session if that happens to be the culprit.
Go figger. Half-hearted implementation, or some lower part of the
anatomy?
Should I blame CA for not employing a mechanism that IBM might
provide, or
IBM for not providing the mechanism?
