PBEM Parameters

Use the following parameters on distributed and mainframe platforms:

IMPORTANT! Apart from the -m and -M parameters, all other parameters are not case-sensitive.

Parameter | Description
-a | Specifies that the default allocator is used.
-b <brdname> | Specifies the name of the BRD file to be processed.
-c <number> | Sets the maximum concurrency allowed for this execution where <number> is a decimal number. 0 or 1 force no concurrency and any template requests for concurrent execution are ignored. If you use a number that exceeds the maximum number of queued connection requests that TCP/IP can accommodate, processing errors may occur.
-d <symbol> <value> | Sets <symbol> to the value that you specify for <value>. Use a pair of double quotation marks ("") to surround values that include spaces. For example: -d DMFOO "last used"
-i | Dumps symbol tables at strategic points.
-l | Traces director processing.
-M | Traces storage allocations and frees.
-m | Traces message management logic.
-n | Ignores the symbol DMSERVER in a BRD file so that a BRD can be run standalone.
-p | Traces parse processing.
-q | Causes queues to be dumped at strategic points.
-t <output spec> | Specifies where to deliver the trace output. Use $ for stdout. On MVS you can use DD:DDNAME.
-v | Prints versions of components.
