Description

The maximum number of output lines written to a directed output (USE) data set per request

At certain points during loop processing of a request, the elapsed number of output lines written to a directed output data set for the request is compared to the value of MUDD. If the elapsed number is greater, the user is informed that the request is long. The user can either continue or cancel the request.

In batch jobs, in application subsystems, or if the value of the PROMPT parameter includes the hexadecimal 10 option, this interaction with the user does not happen and the request is canceled.

The maximum MUDD value is 4,294,967,294. If MUDD is set to -1, then there is no limit to the number of output lines that can be written to a USE data set.
