OUTPUTWARN

Description

Enables identification of application sessions that are in a screen output loop.

This common session parameter is applicable to these control statements: SYSTEM (see SYSTEM statement), PROFILE (see PROFILE statement), USER (see USER statement), TERMINAL (see TERMINAL statement), and APPL (see APPL statement).

Format

OUTPUTWarn nnnn [Minutes mmm]

Default: OUTPUTWARN 100 Minutes 5

Usage

This parameter specifies the rate of session outputs per session inputs that are to be permitted. If the specified limit is exceeded, message 739 is output.

If message 739 is repeatedly issued for a session, the problem should be investigated and if necessary the session should be stopped to prevent it impacting other users. It is recommended that a global limit be specified on the SYSTEM statement, and then individual limits be set for applications that normally produce a rate higher than the global limit.

nnnn is the number of session outputs per session inputs and mmm is the number of minutes. If either value is set to zero (0), then no checking is performed.
