Description
This parameter sets the Model 204 cross-memory services options that can be invoked during execution of Model 204.
This parameter applies only to z/OS.
The XMEMSVC parameter is used with any of the nonzero settings.
Valid settings of XMEMOPT are:
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| X'80' | Activates CRAM-XDM. |
| X'20' | Use SUSPEND/RESUME instead of WAIT/POST for communication between Model 204 real subtasks. This option may reduce operating system overhead slightly. |
| X'04' | Forces initialization of cross-memory environment. |
| X'03' | Invokes both Timer PC and IOS Branch Entry. |
| X'02' | Invokes IOS Branch Entry (recommended for z/OS) to handle all database and CCATEMP I/O.
|
| X'01' | Invokes Timer PC.
Note: As described in the Timer PC section, this bit is automatically turned off as of version 7.4 of Model 204 if your system supports the ECTG instruction. |
| X'00' | Disables Timer PC and IOS Branch Entry. |
Note: VIO is incompatible with IOS Branch Entry and EXCPVR.
