How to process mail messages (MSGOPT)

Specifies how the mail server framework processes existing mail server framework messages.

The possible values are:

*RESUME: All existing mail server framework messages continue processing from the point the mail server framework previously ended.
*RESET: All existing mail server framework messages are processed as if they were just created.
*CLEAR: All existing mail server framework messages are deleted. This option should only be used when a software error is reported with the mail server framework or its associated exit point programs.

Specifies the number of mail server framework jobs to start. This option allows concurrent processing of several mail server framework messages.

The possible values are:

3: Three jobs are started.
number-of-jobs: Specify the number of jobs you want handling mail server framework messages. The valid values range from 1 through 99.
