Hi,

I am facing S722 abend eventhough i mentioned JOBPARM LINES=999999....

Can you please provide me a solution?

No, "we" can't provide a solution.

• "We" do not know your site's standards.
• "We" do not know your site's JES2 initialization parameters.
• You did not bother to give "us" your job's JCL.
• You did not bother to give "us" the contents of your job's JESMSGLG data set.

Are you aware that /*JOBPARM LINES=999999 limits your output to 999999 regular output lines? That really isn't very much.

Hello,

If this is code you are testing, make sure it has not gone into a loop . . .

I believe that this is not the case; the JOBPARM LINES parameter is in thousands of lines (although not every record written to the spool counts against the "line" count).

I'd go the other way; why is this job producing so much output? Is it dumping? Is it looping? A combination of both? Some other reason? Inquiring minds (which should include yours, sange-sherin) want to know.

Your site may have a safety valve that overrides your LINES parameter. That's a lot of output for the spool...do you maybe want to save that to a file?
