First, I can't resist saying that as it seems to have taken a full
decade for members of this group to perceive a significant lack, it
seems the decision to drop the book was a good one!
That aside, the vast majority of customers install z/OS using ServerPac.
ServerPac, in turn, provides far
Hi John,
I have seen and used the ServerPac resources you mentioned and found them very
helpful and useful.
What about the majority who do not have access to ServerPac? With role based
security these days, many, perhaps most, do not have access.
Thanks,

Once the data sets have all been allocated for the first time, for most
things you can model after one that exists and tweak as needed. But for
formal documentation, people without READ access to the ServerPac data
sets *should* be able to find allocation information for individual data
sets
Hi John,
It is management that approves access - or not! And if IBM packs documentation
that appears to be only for the installer, that is who it is for, paraphrasing
here. sigh. Just the way it is.

Cheryl,
No, they're talking about a book that describes the SYS1.* datasets.
I found an old copy online:

From looking at the old iealg510 manual, it really would need a lot of
work to make it more accurate. It should mention all system data sets
that have special requirements - e.g., must be cataloged in Master
Catalog, must be on the SYSRES or the IPL volume, must be PDS not PDSE,
must exist but
Hi Don,
Thanks for the manual. I remember that one now.
I just checked with IBM, and here's what they said:
Our records show that z/OS MVS System Data Set Definition was removed on August
24, 2004. Here's the explanation:
Deleted: z/OS MVS System Data Set Definition, SA22-7629:
Deleted: z/OS MVS System Data Set Definition, SA22-7629: Information about
system data sets is available with the information sent with the z/OS install
package. There is no replacement reference for MVS System Data Set
Definition, except for references to cataloging. In that one instance,
When did it last exist? I have V1R10 docs here and I don't see it.
I found one in the z/OS V1.1 bookshelf
SA22-7629-00 says First Edition, March 2001. I have either always copied it
over in .boo format or this was contained in some sort of 'release DVD' when I
downloaded the next
Data Sets book no longer deemed useful?
As the System Data Set Definition book hasn't been published in rather a
long time ...
Why is this? Isn't this a valuable book for those new to z/OS (and for us
old guys with shrinking memories as well)?
IBM makes us believe how serious they take
