************************************************************ * UPGRADE - AFPFONT SUBSET - >>>> LRECL <<<< * * PROBLEM: FONTLIB/FONTLIBB LRECL CHANGE FROM 8205 TO 12284 * FORMATS: BOUNDED BOX, UNBOUNDED BOX * ENVIRONMENTS: MVS * LAST UPDATE TO THIS TEXT: 12/03/91 ************************************************************ THE FONT LIBRARIES FOR PSF/MVS 2.1.0 HAVE A NEW LRECL=12284 AND BLKSIZE=12288. THE PREVIOUS FONT LIBRARIES HAD LRECL=8205 AND BLKSIZE=8209. IEBCOPY NEEDS PTFS TO COPY FONTS HAVING A SMALLER LRECL/BLKSIZE FROM DASD OR TAPE INTO A FONT LIBRARY HAVING A LARGER LRECL/BLKSIZE (IEBCOPY IS USED BY SMP/E TO INSTALL FMIDS). APAR OY46286 IDENTIFIES THE PTFS FOR IEBCOPY 2.4 AND 3.1. PTF UY67717 IS FOR IEBCOPY 3.2 AND PTF UY67718 IS FOR IEBCOPY 3.3. THE LRECL AND BLKSIZE OF A PREVIOUS FONT LIBRARY CAN BE INCREASED BY SEVERAL TECHNIQUES. FOR EXAMPLE, IEBCOPY CAN BE USED WITH EXPLICIT DCB PARAMETERS THAT SPECIFY THE LARGER LRECL AND BLKSIZE FOR BOTH THE COPY-FROM (PREVIOUS LIBRARY) AND COPY-TO (NEW LIBRARY). THEN THE PREVIOUS LIBRARY CAN BE DELETED AND THE NEW LIBRARY RENAMED TO THAT PREVIOUS NAME. OR IEBGENER CAN BE USED WITH THE LARGER DCB ATTRIBUTES TO CHANGE THE LRECL AND BLKSIZE OF THE PREVIOUS LIBRARY DIRECTLY. --PTF INCLUDE LIST-- --PTF EXCLUDE LIST-- --PE APAR LIST--
