Purpose: The OPTION command activates, deactivates, and lists an optional feature used in a product. An optional feature is an extension to the product.
The ENABLE OPTION command is similar to the DIF START command. Validation is performed to ensure that the option is licensed for the current CPU. If the option has not been licensed, the ENABLE OPTION command will fail.
The DISABLE OPTION command will deactivate the requested option. An OPTION command without ENABLE or DISABLE preceding the command will list the optional features currently enabled for the specified product.
Syntax:
ENABLE OPTION {optname}
DISABLE OPTION {optname}
OPTION {product}
Comments: An optname belongs to a specific
product. DIF will automatically connect a started
option with the associated product. During STOP processing, both the
product and all options associated with the product will be terminated.
Examples: In the following example, the ENABLE OPTION
command activates the ACCVSAM option after ACC has been
started.
