Peter, I was going to suggest
*The SETLOAD <https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=reference-setload-command> command can be used to refresh system symbols via a LOADxx member.* - *If you have the LOADxx members in the PARMLIB concatenation, (and so are not using SYS1.IPLPARM) the SETLOAD WS,IEASYM, command will refresh the symbols.* - *If you have the LOADxx members in SYS1.IPLPARM, then you need to use the command like SETLOAD xx,IEASYM,DSN=SYS1.IPLPARM or setload xx,IEASYM,DSN=SYS1.IPLPARM,VOL=A5SYS1, giving the name, and optionally the volume of the dataset containing the LOADxx member.* *Typically you will use the same LOADxx member as used at IPL. You can use a different LOADxx to that used at IPL - so you can change your symbols after the IPL has finished.* *Note: The entire set of symbols are deleted, and the specified symbols added, so you need to reload all of them. For example if you specified IEASYM (xx,yy) at IPL, and used SETLOAD with just IEASYMyy, you will lose the symbols from IEASYMxx*. I fell over the problem of just refreshing IEASYSyy instead of using IEASYM (xx,yy) and had lots of problems ( grin) Colin On Sun, 11 Sept 2022 at 13:46, Peter Relson <[email protected]> wrote: > Michael Babcock's comment was fully correct and on point. > > If you have LOADxx in SYS1.IPLPARM on volume VOL123 and that dataset is > not in the parmlib concatenation then > SETLOAD xx,IEASYM,DSN=SYS1.IPLPARM,VOL=VOL123 > applies. > > And, as is described, you can use > SETLOAD xx,IEASYM,DSN=IPL,VOL=IPL > To indicate to take the dataset and volume used from IPL to locate LOADxx. > > Colin, what commentary update are you thinking of requesting? > The doc indicates that the default is to locate LOADxx via the parmlib > concatenation (which is true) and shows how to override the default. > There's almost always room for improvement in documentation.... > > Peter Relson > z/OS Core Technology Design > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
