Hi Everyone, Thanks so much for your help, I can breathe a little easier. :-) We have a very short suspense date to get 1.7 in.
You're a great group! Mary :-) -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Fochtman Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 3:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: IPL Text ------------------<snip>----------------------- 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? ------------------<unsnip>------------------- 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.
