Description

Use the TEMPPAGE parameter to place CCATEMP pages for your job into dataspace storage. The number specified for the TEMPPAGE parameter determines how many CCATEMP pages are available for the run. Using the TEMPPAGE parameter also indicates that the pages must be placed in storage rather than on disk. The advantages to holding pages in storage are:

  • The disk and channel subsystems are relieved of work, allowing non-CCATEMP I/O to complete with less contention.
  • Moving the pages from memory to the buffer pool requires less CPU than is required to start and wait on I/O completion.

When you specify the TEMPPAGE parameter, even if you have a CCATEMP DD record in the job, the disk file is not accessed and the pages are placed in storage. The default setting of zero means that your job will use a CCATEMP disk file.

This parameter applies to only z/OS.
