Changing the default options

Default processing options are supplied with File Manager in the module FMN0POPT. You can change these options to suit your installation requirements by using the usermod FMNUMODP. For a description of the options and the values you can specify, see File Manager options.

The default macro statements are in FMN.SFMNSAM1(FMN0POPT).

You change the options as follows:

Copy the member FMN0POPT from FMN.SFMNSAM1 into your own source library.
Change the default options in the FMN0POPT member in your library as required.
Modify the FMNUMODP member in FMN.SFMNSAM1 to meet your site's requirements. Refer to the usermod for information about changes you might need to make.
Install SMP/E usermod FMNUMODP.

Note: If you do not want to use SMP/E you can use the sample job FMN0POPH to assemble FMN0POPT .
