Hi,
This is asked in the interview, which I could not answer. I searched too about it but I think I am not getting the right keywords to search on. Could someone please answer this.
What is that parameter which can be added to the Job-card to terminate the job if the job output exceeds 300 pages?

This is not quite a question for an interview. Even if one does know the answer of it - how would the information be used for a regular Job! Part of any Job is to understand where to find the information, one can not know just everything unless this question determined your success in the interview - it does not really help a daily routine job I observe in office.
Now as I'm done with venting off - There are several ways in which an installation can set job output limits and define the actions that JES takes when a job exceeds those limits. However with this rank question i don't think you were asked for JES commands but rather they must be interested in LINES. Details for LINES are as follows:
Example 1
In this example, the job JOB1 will be cancelled when its output exceeds 100 thousand lines. The system will not produce a storage dump.
Example 2
In this example, when the output for JOB2 exceeds 10 thousand lines, the installation default determines whether the job is

Code: Select all
//JOB1 JOB (@),ANUJ',LINES=(100,CANCEL)
Example 2
Code: Select all
//JOB2 JOB (@),'ANUJ',LINES=10
- Cancelled, and a dump is requested
- Cancelled, and no dump is requested
- Allowed to continue, with a warning message issued to the operator.

This is an old thread but thanks for your answer. We had a discussion on this one some time back and I am not sure people understand it.
