Thanks for the education. My doc search started with the JES2 Init and Tuning Guide "Defining Output Limits" which lists LINES/BYTES for both JOB and JOBPARM but nary a word on the CANCEL DUMP WARNING arguments.
And the JCL Manual "Examples of the /* JOBPARM statement" gives no description of the arguments for LINES etc. And even under JOBPARM, the LINES entry only states that it can specify the action to be taken, but no example of the syntax or text with which to do that in the entry. ONLY if you do click to the NEXT page, finally do I find the CANCEL/DUMP/WARNING syntax. The use of OUTLIM is viable ONLY if you inserted //SYSUDUMP DD DUMMY to prevent those added 500,000 lines of the dump from being created. Barry Herbert W.
