Limits the number of concurrently running jobs/sessions, or
displays the current job/session limits.
{numberjobs }
LIMIT [{ + }] [{,numbersessions }]
{ - } {numberjobs,numbersessions}
[;JOBQ = <queuename>]
+ Increment the limit value.
- Decrement the limit value.
numberjobs The number of jobs.
numbersessions The number of sessions.
<omitted> If you specify no parameter, the current limits are
displayed.
queuename Name of the job queue whose limit is to be changed.
If omitted, the global limit values are changed.
Maximum job and session limits are established by the system
supervisor during system configuration. Within these
limits, the operator may redefine the job and session limit
with the LIMIT command. When the system is restarted from
disk in a START RECOVER, the operator defined limits are
retained. When any other startup option is used, the values
configured by the supervisor take effect.
No new jobs or sessions will be dispatched that would cause
either of these limits to be exceeded, unless they are
initiated with the ;HIPRI parameter of the JOB or HELLO
commands.
Non-HIPRI jobs can still be introduced when the limit is
achieved, but they will not execute.
If you attempt to log on to a non-HIPRI session after the
limit has been reached, you will receive the message
CAN'T INITIATE NEW SESSIONS NOW
The specified limits may be exceeded at the time the command
is issued. This will not cause jobs or sessions executing
at the time to abort. They will continue to execute, but no
new jobs will be allowed to enter the executing state, and
no new sessions will be initiated.
If the ;JOBQ parameter is specified, the command will change
the limits of the specified job queue. Otherwise the global
limits will be changed.
If + or - sign is specified before the numeric value, command
will increment or decrement the limit value by the specified
numeric value.
This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or
in BREAK. Pressing [Break] has no effect on this command. It
may be issued only from the console unless it is distributed to
users with the ALLOW command.
To limit the number of jobs to 2 and the number of sessions
to 15, enter
LIMIT 2,15
