OPTION Parameter
The OPTION parameter can be used to invoke a BIM-EPIC feature applicable for which there
is no equivalent MVS JCL parameter. OPTION can be used to:
• selectively activate disk allocation messages
• specify the name of an applicable VSAM catalog
•
specify an FBA CISIZE
• specify a specific logical unit number
• specify a tape pool ID
•
base current disk allocation size on the size used by a different dataset
• selectively remove a VSE label from the label area
• override rewind options specified by DISP or VOL parameters
When multiple subparameters are used, they must be separated by commas and the list must
be enclosed in parentheses. The subparameters are not positional, so it is not necessary to use
commas in place of unspecified subparameters.
