RELATED IDEAS

DFSMStvs have a hard upper limit set in PARMLIB that cannot be overridden by JCL

Currently the TVSAMCOM in PARMLIB can be overridden by including TVSAMCOM=(n,n) on the JCL EXEC statement.  in our case, we've had a couple of instances where an application did not take the default set in PARMLIB and flooded the CF and SMSVSAM with over 400,000 (one instance was 912,000) locks.  There needs to be a hard limit we can specify to prevent this from occurring as it caused SMSVSAM to hang, causing issues with multiple CICS regions, DFHSM CF communications (DFHSM abended).

Thank You
