When specifying Teradata ARC runtime parameters, specify PARM/DEFAULT first, then the other parameters in any order.
For z/OS systems, specify runtime parameters in ARCPARM or PARM on the EXEC card of the JCL.
Table 13 summarizes Teradata ARC runtime parameters. For more detail, refer to the sections that follow the table.

All Platforms |
Displays object names in the standard output in hexadecimal notation |
|
Linux, |
Specifies the name of an access module Note: The value of IOMODULE is passed directly to the tape access module. ARCMAIN does not interpret the value. |
|
|
Linux, |
