Hi Folks,
I was successfully (so I think) able to install TSSO from CBT Tape
File 404 (Updates page) on my virtual z/OS 1.9 system at IBM in Dallas,
with the following caveats:
1. I installed Carey Morris' fixes to TSSOSS09, which were: wherever
it says MASTCONS and you do a load halfword (LH) of R0 with MASTCONS,
substitute the instruction SR R0,R0 to just clear R0. z/OS 1.8 and
further, have eliminated the concept of Master Console.
2. In the TSSO, TSSOINI1, and TSSOINI2 modules, TSSO dynamically
allocates SYS1.PARMLIB to get to the TSSOPARM member, and the name
SYS1.PARMLIB is hard coded there in those three places. So I had to go
into the source and change these in the assembly to VENDOR.PARMLIB for
myself, because IBM's Dallas system doesn't allow you to change anything
in SYS1.PARMLIB (it is read-only on their VM-run systems in Dallas).
This is so that TSSO will recognize the parms you need to change and
adjust it.
Of course you have to update the subsystem name table (IEFSSNxx) in
PARMLIB and add the TSSO subsystem name.
Good luck if you're installing TSSO. It isn't that hard, and it
pays to have it on your system for recovery purposes, and convenience
when you're in the machine room and you can't get to a TSO tube easily.
All the best to all of you.
Sincerely, Sam Golob
