Note that you cannot change the value of EDSALIM during CICS execution by means of CEMT SET commands. Furthermore, dynamic changes to EDSALIM are cataloged in the local catalog, and the value in the local catalog overrides the EDSALIM parameter specified in the system initialization table during all forms of restart: initial,cold, and warm. Therefore, to change EDSALIM, you must specify it as a system initialization table override or re-initialize the CICS catalog data sets.
