The following is from the Initialization and Tuning Guide... <quote>
Transaction Definition for CLISTs An installation can specify whether the individual commands in a TSO/E CLIST are treated as separate TSO/E commands for transaction control. Specifying CNTCLIST=YES causes a new transaction to be started for each command in the CLIST. A possible exposure of specifying CNTCLIST=YES is that long CLISTs composed of trivial and intermediate commands might monopolize a domain's MPL slots and cause interactive terminal users to be delayed. Specifying CNTCLIST=NO (the default) causes the entire CLIST to constitute a single transaction. </end quote> As I understand it, domains and MPL slots are no longer externalised with WLM Goal Mode, with WLM dynamically adjusting MPL levels to meet the service class goals. So I find it hard to see how setting CNTCLIST=YES could monopolize MPL slots. I ask because somebody has quoted this section of text as a reason not to set CNTCLIST=YES. Does this section of text need updating or removal? Also, can somebody please confirm that CNTCLIST does not apply when CLIST's/EXEC's are run in batch?
