     When set, these optional variables limit how long a search will            
     run. You can limit on the number of results found (limit.hits),            
     the number of data sets searched (limit.datasets) or the total             
     number of lines searched (limit.lines).

       Defines user-specified code to be executed during CARMA                  
       startup. Uncomment and specify the data set name of the code             
       to be executed.                                                          
       With quotes (') the data set name is an absolute reference,              
       without quotes (') the data set name is prefixed with the                
       client's user ID, not the TSO prefix. The latter requires that           
       all CARMA users must maintain their own exit code.                       
       A sample user exit is provided as SFEKSAMP(CRAEXIT). This                
       sample also documents the startup arguments passed to the                
       user exit.                                                               
                                                                                
     This fix updates the sample crastart.conf and                              
     crastart.endevor.conf file by adding support to pass multiple              
     arguments to the CARMA startup exec (CRAALLOC and CRANDVRA).               
                                                                                
     This fix updates the sample CRASUBMT and CRASUBCA members by               
     accepting multiple arguments and pass them to the CARMA startup            
     exec (CRAALLOC and CRANDVRA).                                              
                                                                                
     This fix updates the CRANDVRA CARMA startup exec so it can                 
     invoke a user exit.                                                        
                                                                                
     This fix introduces the CRAALLOC CARMA startup exec.

     This fix changes JES Job Monitor to bind to the loopback                   
     address only. This change is incompatible with older RDz                   
     servers that expect JMON to bind to the default IP stack.                  
                                                                                
     By specifying LOOPBACK_ONLY=OFF in FEJJCNFG you instruct the               
     JMON server to bind to the default stack and the loopback                  
     address. This allows both older and the current RDz server to              
     connect to a single JMON server.

     This fix updates the sample FEJJCNFG member:                               
     1. add optional directive                                                  
     #LOOPBACK_ONLY=ON                                                          
                                                                                
     LOOPBACK_ONLY                                                              
       Defines whether JES Job Monitor binds to the loopback address            
       only, or to every available TCP/IP stack. Binding to loopback            
       is more secure, because only tasks local to this z/OS system             
       will be able to contact JES Job Monitor. The default is ON.              
       Uncomment this directive and specify OFF if you want JES Job             
       Monitor to bind to all TCP/IP stacks.                                    
                                                                                
     2. remove optional directive                                               
     #_BPXK_SETIBMOPT_TRANSPORT=TCPIP                                           
                                                                                
       As the loopback address has no TCP/IP stack affinity, support            
       for _BPXK_SETIBMOPT_TRANSPORT has been removed.).
