Converting REXX exec records

The QMF EXEC library contains fixed-length records. It can be concatenated only to other exec libraries that have fixed-length records. If the library contains variable-length records, you must create a copy of the QMF library with variable-length records.

  1. Check the following:

    Later in the install, you will allocate the QMF exec library (QMF720.SDSQEXCE.VB) as a SYSEXEC data set by concantenating the library to other exec libraries.

    Example

    In the following JCL (from DSQ1EINV), the library QMF720.SDSQEXCE is concatenated to an exec library named SYS2.EXEC:

       //SYSEXEC  DD DSN=SYS2.EXEC,DISP=SHR
       //         DD DSN=QMF720.SDSQEXCE,DISP=SHR
    For more information, see the Developing QMF Applications manual.
  2. Edit QMF720.SDSQSAPE(DSQ1EJVE).

    Change the serial number of the volume for the copy of the library.

    //DSQTEVB.SYSUT2 DD DISP=(NEW,CATLG),UNIT=SYSDA,
    //    SPACE=(8800,(400,50,25)),VOL=SER=XXXXXX,
    //    DCB=(RECFM=VB,LRECL=84,BLKSIZE=8800)
  3. Change the job statement to conform to your installation.
    //DSQ1EJVE JOB (ACCT),NAME,
    //    CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=A,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),
    //    USER=Q,PASSWORD=Q
  4. Verify and change, if necessary, the value of the QMFTPRE parameter in the instream procedure of the job.
    //DSQTEVB PROC RGN='2048K',
    //    QMFTPRE='QMF720 ',   Prefix for QMF  libraries
    //    CLIST=                                     Leave blank;
    //*                                    used when the procedure is called
  5. Submit job QMF720.SDSQSAPE(DSQ1EJVE).
  6. Check for a return code of 0.

    If the job fails, correct the error and rerun the job.
