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?

Hi, Mary;
ICKDSF will do the job just fine at your level; check the IBM pubs site
for doc. IIRC, there's a sample of the JCL in SYS1.SAMPLIB as well.
The basic format of the IPLTXT hasn't changed in 30+ years, as far as
the disk records are concerned, so you shouldn't have any problems.
Rick
