I want to specify a different BPXPRMnn concatenation depending on whether I'm IPLing z/OS 2.1 or z/OS 2.2. The second member has the filesystem mounts and they are different depending on which level of z/OS is IPLing.
In SYS1.PARMLIB(IEASYS00) I specify OMVS=(00,&OSLEVEL(2:1)&OSLEVEL(4:1)), However at IPL get BPXI030I THE OMVS= PARAMETER WAS FOUND TO HAVE A SYNTAX ERROR. IEA341A RESPECIFY OMVS PARM OR PRESS ENTER IEE600I REPLY TO 00 IS;OMVS=00 IEE252I MEMBER BPXPRM00 FOUND IN SYS1.PARMLIB Entering the command SET OMVS=(00,&OSLEVEL(2:1)&OSLEVEL(4:1)) I get IEE295I COMMAND CHANGED BY SYMBOLIC SUBSTITUTION ORIGINAL: SET OMVS=(00,&OSLEVEL(2:1)&OSLEVEL(4:1)) MODIFIED: SET OMVS=(00,21) SET OMVS=(00,21) so I put OMVS=00, back in IEASYS00 and I created an MPF exit triggering off the BPXI004I OMVS INITIALIZATION COMPLETE message to issue the SET OMVS=&OSLEVEL(2:1)&OSLEVEL(4:1) as an interim solution. It appears the OMVS= parameter does not like system symbols. Is this correct or have I somehow messed up my coding?
