We have requirement from customer to have EAV volumes on z/OS 1.12 systems.
Below are the step, I followed for this configuration.
*a) Software requirements:* Extended address volumes require z/OS V1R10.

What does your customer want to use the EAVs *for*? z/OS V1.10 was the
minimum requirement for defining them, and R12 added a number of other
things but more followed in R13. Here's the history:
- z/OS R10 introduced EAV with support for VSAM (including zFS)
- z/OS R11 added Extended Format Sequential and support for data sets
spanning the 64K cylinder line
- z/OS R12 added support for:
- PDS and PDSE (including load modules and program objects)
- Plain vanilla (nonextended format) sequential
- BDAM
- GDG
- LPALIB, LPA list, link list data sets, SYSn.IPLPARM, SVCLIB
Catalogs, VVDSs
- JES2 and JES3 spool and checkpoint, JES3 JCT
- DFSMSrmm, DFSMShsm™ data sets
- Standalone Dump data set and AMASPZAP support
- VSAM AIX support in Language Environment
- z/OS R13 added support for:
- Support for 1TB EAV volumes (rolled back to z/OS R12)
- SDSF support for output data sets
- FTP support for SMS-managed and non-SMS-managed PS basic and large
format, PDS and PDSE, and GDG data sets
- PL/I Support with the PTF for APAR PM43745 (available on z/OS R11
and up)
