Using an IPVOPTLM configuration-options module

An optional IPVOPTLM configuration-options module can be used to provide settings which are required before reading the IPVCNF00 parmlib member.

The name of the configuration-options load module must be IPVOPTLM, and it must be placed in an APF-authorized library. Place the library in LNKLST so that the IPVOPTLM load module can be found. The recommended library is IPV.SIPVMODA.

A sample job to create an IPVOPTLM configuration-options load module is provided as member IPVOPTLM in data set IPV.SIPVSAM1.

Individual settings in the IPVOPTLM configuration-options module are specified using the IPVOPT macro, as explained in the sample job. The only available setting is:

IPVCNFDS

To accommodate installations that do not provide general READ access to SYS1.PARMLIB (or any one of the data sets in the logical parmlib concatenation), an alternative data set dsname can be specified as follows:

         IPVOPT IPVCNFDS,dsname

For example, to specify TOOLS.PARMLIB as an alternative data set name:

         IPVOPT IPVCNFDS,TOOLS.PARMLIB
