EXTFILE size needs to be in TCz

The size of the EXTFILE is actually hard coded in the skeleton. Other than reducing the scan range (currently 3 and 7 hrs), we can recommend updating the skeleton. For the transaction scan, you can edit SARYSLIB members ARYINBX (currently line 90)

 

000087 ))EXTFILE DD DSN=&SYSUID..&IDENTIFIER&EXTFILE

000088 )) DCB=(LRECL=32752,BLKSIZE=32756,RECFM=VB),DISP=(MOD,CATLG,DELETE),

000089 ))SMS

000090 )) SPACE=(CYL,(15,10),RLSE),UNIT=SYSDA

 

and ARYIN1X (line 32)

000029 ))EXTFILE DD DSN=&SYSUID..&IDENTIFIER&EXTFILE

000030 // DCB=(LRECL=32752,BLKSIZE=32756,RECFM=VB),DISP=(MOD,CATLG,DELETE),

000031 ))SMS

000032 // SPACE=(CYL,(15,10),RLSE),UNIT=SYSDA

 

We will see if we plan to make changes to be able to modify these parameters through other means.
