While I have not personally been able to verify this, I've had reports that you can use the HMC's Load from Removable Media or Server task to load and run the COD from an FTP server.
You will need to put the contents of all three COD disks into the same subdirectory on an FTP server in the same subdirectory (and a few files, those that start with DFSMSDSS are the same on all three images, so you just need one copy in this directory), then you should be able to use the HMC's "Load from Removable Media or Server" task to load and use the COD. You will select the appropriatte .ins file and load that via the HMC's task. So, you will wind up with a directory on the FTP server that looks something like this: DFSMSDSS.IMAGE DFSMSDSS.INS DFSMSDSS.PREFIX DFSMSDSS_OPERCNSL.IMAGE DFSMSDSS_OPERCNSL.INS CAT* (all files that you find in the COD disk images that start with CAT) SY1* SY2* Tom Mathias ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
