Description

The number of buffers allocated for writing to CCAJLOG when a CCAJLOG DD is defined. The size of each buffer is equal to the BLKSIZE defined for the associated data set. A buffer is written only when it fills.

If the CCAJLOG block size is small, you might need to increase the value to improve performance. Rocket Software recommends setting the CCAJLOG block size as large as possible and using the NLBUFF default setting.
