As a matter of interest, since I managed to avoid this particular
task, when was it no longer necessary to "generate" "OS", where "OS"
refers to the ancestors of z/OS?
I believe that it was the advent of MVSCP that did away with the
IOGEN, but that might have been optional at first. The full SYSGEN
went away in the same time frame. It was well into the MVS era, and
AFAIK you needed a SYSGEN for OS/VS1 until the bitter end.
Good memory. But I believe the fullgen is still needed to this day
(to prime the CSI) at least. I *THINK* there are a few products that
are not supported by the sysgen method anymore.
