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:

SettingMeaning
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 (M204XSVC).
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.
  • If the Online load module is not APF authorized, the X'02' bit is turned off.
  • As of Model 204 version 7.6, the X'02' setting is required for zIIP processing.
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.
