My main question is which should be used? The sysprogs over time do not always read manuals or review parmlib for changes. I know this has been out there for a really long time.
I am trying to understand which is needed today. If we should go with the LINKLIB module, what do I do to SCHEDxx - remove it from PARMLIB? Not worry about it as the LINKLIB over rules the Parmlib? The IRLM team is recommending we let LINKLIB handle this. I can remove IRLM code from SCHEDxx. But since there are other entries in SCHEDxx - I would prefer to do one pass rather than have to come back to this again. So - questions 1) Who wins - LINKLIB or PARMLIB 2) Should SCHEDxx only contain OEM entries and all previous IBM Entries be removed 3) What is best practice Thank you Lizette I didn't believe our auditor so I check, the Init and Tuning Reference page 718 provides a list of PPT entries that are supplied by default stated above that - PPT Allows the installation to specify a list of programs that require special attributes or to change the attributes of the IBM-supplied default entries in the PPT (see Table 55 on page 718). The system scans this PPT to determine which, if any, special attributes apply to the program it is initiating. Note: 1. Usually, you should not add or change programs in the program properties table (PPT) unless the instructions for installing a program direct you to do so. If you do add a program to the PPT, or change an existing entry's properties, ensure that the program can function with the properties you have assigned to it. For example, a program designed to run in program protect key 8 might not be able to run in key 10 because of hardcoded key speci®ctions in the program. If you were to specify KEY(10) in this case, the program will not function correctly. 2. If the processor that your system runs on does not support program protect key 9, do not assign key 9 to any programs. For speci®c processor models, see z/OS Planning for Installation. I hope this helps some Carmen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
