It allows you to append control statements to the SYSLIN dataset. You might include statements to supply additional directives to the Link Editor, such as NAME, ORDER, etc.

Re: zOS shutdown in Hyperion

 

I'm definitely doing something wrong.? I'm trying to run 2.5 and can only re-ipl by doing a quiesce first.
?
I can only see two terminals (0060,0061) and 0060 is used for the console.
Also, there's no printer defined and 00E/00F do not exist.? Do I need to gen additional hardware with HCD?

Can I pick your brain off list?

It is a concatenation statement for SYSLIN, typically to provide linker statements which, for example, would allow you to link/edit your main object module (the one defined by SYSLIN) with some other object module(s) from an other library, or to name the final object module produced by the linker.
?
If you don't need it, you can ignore it. This will generate a warning but the link/edit will proceed normally.

Re: zOS shutdown in Hyperion

 

Quick guess is that you do NOT have a procedure installed called shutsys

May be need to look for the correct way - I seem to recall I had to run a few procedures to close everything down before doing the final quiesce? or something similar but may be spelt differently - it was a few years ago :)

There is NOT a one process that does it all i,e similar to TK4 or 5 and I would have to reread the manual/book for it - a RED BOOK being but one.

I am looking at a new update to the MVS 3.8j installation/SYSGEN

ISPF and Greg Price's REVIEW use. It does no harm for this allocation to
still be present if you later upgrade to the latest version of RPF, but
it just needs to be cleaned up. All but one of the changes I need to

Problem is that Hercules has been forked a number of times and it's very easy to stumble those other forks which see rare or no active development.

Did you file it for the correct fork, SDL-Hercules-390?

Two minor problems - isn't there always something :-

In the ? "Performing a System Generation" stage, the "usermods.jcl" step
fails one update namely UMOD009 because member MS00100 was not found in
the dataset SYS1.USERMODS. I haven't been able to find the item anywhere
so am not sure what that will affect. Otherwise, the final 3390 build
went extremely well and no further problems.

The logon procs for the default userids HMVS01 and HMVS02 use REVINIT to
start RPF and/or REVIEW (not sure which) but it is missing or, at least,
not in the normal executable chain and I have not been able to find it.
Not a serious problem, I changed REVINIT to RPF in one userid logon and
RFE in the other so I have both ;-)

Best regards

Bill
Bill,

The series of pages for installing MVS 3.8j from the IBM distribution
tape images has not been getting complete updates terribly frequently. I
did make a couple of revisions to the tape image containing the DASD
User Modifications, which is what snagged you. Rob Prins fed me some
updates which, one way or another, caused a couple of update cycles to
the het tape image, before we got it settled. As I recall, we went from
VOLSER J90009 (Jim Morrison's original designation) to the current
J90012. At that time, I simply put some comments wherever the name of
the tape image and VOLSER were mentioned, as I didn't have time
immediately to go through the entire installation and capture new screen
shots wherever the tape VOLSER was displayed. Later I did update all the
captures and page text during June, 2024, although even that was not a
complete overhaul.


The cover letter and ZAPs for MS00100 are loaded from tape
(usermods.het, tape dataset #2, SMP.SMPPTFIN) in the second step of job
USERMODS (step name PDSLOAD, program executed is PDSLOAD). From the
SYSOUT from the last SYSGEN I did (for the system I currently run each day):

./ ADD NAME=JLM0005
MEMBER JLM0005 ADDED (20 RECORDS)
./ ADD NAME=MS00100
MEMBER MS00100 ADDED (70 RECORDS) <---
./ ADD NAME=M096220
MEMBER M096220 ADDED (89 RECORDS)

Neither RPF or REVINIT are installed until the page following the System
Generation instructions. REVINIT is installed as a part of Greg Price's
REVIEW package. I suppose to eliminate the possibility of seeing an
error from occurring during a logon prior to completing the
customization (REVIEW is part of the TSO applications package added from
the het image tsoaps.het), I can remove the REVINIT line from the logon
procedure and have the installation job for REVIEW add it at the same
time REVIEW is installed. I already have a Batch TSO job to edit the
REVINIT add a VOLUME parameter to the ISP Profile dataset allocation,
and that could easily be inserted in that step (STEP14 of job MVS03).

I am looking at a new update to the MVS 3.8j installation/SYSGEN
instructions in the not too distant future. Lots of small items need
updating. For instance, Rob Prins' RPF no longer requires a separate
profile, as it now uses the ISP Profile dataset that Wally Mclaughlin's
