About this task

ZAOCON.zOSparts.zip is a zip archive that contains two files.

To recreate the two PDSEs on z/OS follow these steps:

  1. Unzip the zip archive on your PC.
  2. On z/OS, create 2 "XMI" data sets with the following specifications:
    DSORG=PS
    RECFM=FB 
    LRECL=80 
    SPACE=(CYL,(2,2))
    Name these data sets as follows:
    prefix.SHZCMOD1.XMI 
    prefix.SHZCSAMP.XMI

    where prefix is your TSO ID's prefix which is usually your user ID.

  3. BINARY transfer each file from the zip to its respective z/OS data set.
  4. Process each XMI data set with the RECEIVE command to recreate a PDSE. This can be done in batch with JCL like:
    //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01
    //SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
    //SYSTSIN DD *
    RECEIVE INDA(SHZCMOD1.XMI)
    RESTORE DSNAME(hlq.ZCONBETA.SHZCMOD1)
    
    RECEIVE INDA(SHZCSAMP.XMI)
    RESTORE DSNAME(hlq.ZCONBETA.SHZCSAMP)
    
    /*

    where hlq is the high level qualifier suitable for your system.
