| CORETRACE | Suppresses on-line tracing into filestore. Use of this parameter will have beneficial effects on Geronimo performance. When this macro is issued from the operator's console this parameter is automatically included. |
| NOCHECK | No security checks wil be carried out within the remote job entry vetting code. |
| REFER | The system will re-instate the MASTER identity and context area prior to starting up the AVDU terminals. This parameter causes the FINISH command to dump the above-mentioned details for subsequent restore when the program is next loaded with this parameter specified. |
| CODE2 | If this parameter is present then all the VDUs will be treated as Code 2 devices; if it is absent then all VDUs will be treated as Code 1 devices. |
