There is no need to USERMOD anymore. You can define ICEMAC parameters in ICEPRMxx of PARMLIB and invoke ICEOPT proc.

IIRC - Not difficult if you are not using anything unique to CA Sort. All sort products (DFSORT, SYNCSORT, and CA SORT) are mostly interchangeable. The PGM=SORT is the same in all three and I think the Control Cards are mostly the same. Sort is one product where interchangeability seemed to rule. If DFSORT is not installed as your primary z/OS sort product do one of the following: Add the DFSORT SORTLPA library to the link pack area list; then add the DFSORT SICELINK library to the link list. OR Add the DFSORT SICELINK library to the link list; then add the DFSORT SORTLPA library to the link list. Important: If any non-IBM primary sort product is installed in the link list, install DFSORT in the link list, in system search order. Recommendation: If any non-IBM primary sort product is installed in the link pack area, add the DFSORT libraries to the link list. For testing, you can Add the DFSORT SICELINK library to the JOBLIB statement; then add the DFSORT SORTLPA library to the JOBLIB statement. Add the DFSORT SICELINK library to the STEPLIB DD statement; then add the DFSORT SORTLPA library to the STEPLIB DD statement. Add the DFSORT modules to a private library that is equivalent to one of the above configurations. You may need to update IFAPRDxx in SYS1.PARMLIB to enable DFSORT. Review any configuration done in CA Sort with ICEMACx members. I think you need a usermod for these. But you can test with STEPLIBs for a few of your sort jobs. Once you know those work, you can probably just change the CA Sort to be below DFSORT in LINKLST and LPALST I think the DFSORT libraries are part of the system install so you may already have them in your system. You may just need to review how to locate them and plan how to swap out the CA Sort information. Review the SVC 17 ESR and see if that is still needed. Review any configuration and see how ICEMACx may need to be updated. I think IBM Support may have info on this process.
