However, it must be on the same volume since it is allocated to MSTJCLxx. If you want to go through the trouble of moving it, you can still do so by using the SETLOAD operator command to remove it and re-add it. > >Or do we have to IPL.

See the SETLOAD command as I indicated above to add it dynamically and use it going forward. > >We are at z/OS 1.6. > Other options: At z/OS 1.6 (and z/OS 1.2 - 1.5 with the PTF for OA04069) a KEY 7 TCB mode caller (like DB2) can utilize a pre-built image that should have what you need. However, it does take and IPL to load it and SYS1.SCUNIMG has to be in the LNKLST (be sure to remove UNI= from IEASYSxx). Then you don't need to keep it in PARMLIB. Once you get to z/OS 1.7 + APAR OA14231 or z/OS 1.8 (or higher), then you can use the new feature that lets the system load the conversion routines as needed. You also need SYS1.SCUNIMG in the LNKLST and SYS1.SCUNTBL cataloged. There have been some recent threads on this. I think Brian referred to this as "Unicode on Demand" (although I don't know if he was the first to say that). Search the archives and see the fine manuals for more.
