The default macro statements are in HFM.SHFMSAM1(HFM0POPT).

You change the options as follows:

Copy the member HFM0POPT from HFM.SHFMSAM1 into your own source library.
Change the default options in the HFM0POPT member in your library as required.
Modify the HFMUMODP member in HFM.SHFMSAM1 to meet your site's requirements. Refer to the usermod for information about changes you might need to make.
Install SMP/E usermod HFMUMODP.

Note: If you do not want to use SMP/E you can use the sample job HFM0POPH to assemble HFM0POPT .
