It is assumed the user has a working knowledge of using TSO/E and ISPF. If not, find someone who does.
Carry out the following steps to install the JCL library for Acquire.
Allocate a sequential file on your mainframe. Allocate it as follows:
Data Set Name
(HLQ).ACQUIRE.JCLLIB.XMI
Space Units
CYL
Primary Quantity
1
Secondary Quantity
Directory Blocks
0
Record Format
FB
Record Length
80
Block Size
8000 (or any other convenient block size).
-
Using FTP or similar, upload file JCLLIB.XMI into the file you have just created. You must transmit the file as BINARY data.
-
From TSO option 6, issue the command RECEIVE INDS(<filename>) using the name of the file you have just created and uploaded the JCL library into. You will be presented with messages similar to these:
INMR901I Dataset ATHENE.AZDvvvv.JCLLIB from ATHENE on SYS1
INMR906A Enter restore parameters or 'DELETE' or 'END' +
-
You may accept the name to be used by pressing Enter, or change it by entering :
DA(<your dataset name>)
-
The sample JCL library will then be restored, ready for use. If you can browse the members in this new library then (HLQ).ACQUIRE.JCLLIB.XMI is no longer needed and can be deleted
