- specifies the partition set status.
- DISABLED
- The partition set may not be used.
- ENABLED
- The partition set may be used.

- When the use count for this partition set reaches zero, it becomes eligible
for removal from storage as part of the normal dynamic program compression
process.

for this partition set is released. This value should be specified for partition

a system initialization parameter. The use of the partition set from the LPA requires that it has been
installed there and that the partition set is not named by the PRVMOD start-up
option. For more details on this, see the CICS Transaction Server for z/OS® Installation Guide.
