BIM-PADS

VSE/POWER Spooling Alter-Delete  System

Platform: z/VSE and VSEⁿ

BIM-PADS is a utility that controls VSE/POWER spooling by automatically deleting unwanted jobs or altering their CLASS and/or DISP at pre-set intervals.

Good management of the VSE/POWER file is important because large amounts of unwanted or discarded output tends to give confusing operator displays, along with wasting paper and printing time.

A reduced VSE/POWER file cuts the confusion, frees up disk space, and speeds up all uses of the VSE/POWER file.

BIM-PADS automatically scans the VSE/POWER file at user-defined intervals and then acts on jobs when necessary. You can also run it as a batch job whenever needed.
