Here is what I have for z/OS 1.8, I doubt the level of ICKDSF matters, just use the correct SAMPLIB.
This does look a little different from what John McKown sent. Mine came from the Serverpac installation, z/OS 1.7 was the same and IIRC so were earlier versions. //IPLTXT EXEC PGM=ICKDSF //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //IPLVOL DD DISP=SHR, // VOL=SER=RSAR8A, // UNIT=3390 //IPLTEXT DD DSN=LS0AR8.SYS1.SAMPLIB(IPLRECS),DISP=SHR // DD DSN=LS0AR8.SYS1.SAMPLIB(IEAIPL00),DISP=SHR //SYSIN DD * REFORMAT DDNAME(IPLVOL) IPLDD(IPLTEXT) NOVERIFY BOOTSTRAP /* -----Original Message----- Yukus, Mary J Hi Everyone, I am applying compatibility maintenance to our z/OS1.4 system to go to z/OS1.7. A number of the fixes require the IPL Text to be re-written. It mentions using ICKDSF to accomplish this. I know we don't have the last version of ICKDSF installed (I believe it was supposed to go to ICKDSF17). Does anyone know if I will still be able to use our old version (which I think is ICKDSF16) to create it? Are there any serious implications I should know about? Can anyone point me to some JCL? ...or good documentation? Etc. (I haven't done this before and I'm the "senior systems programmer" :-) ) It also mentioned the possibility of creating it with "other" software. Does anyone know what software might be able to do that?
