Converting CLIST records

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

1. Check the following:
   • If other CLIST libraries have fixed-length records, skip this step.
   • If your installation uses variable-length records CLIST libraries, continue with this step. It creates a CLIST library that contains variable-length records named QMF720.SDSQCLTE.VB. Use this new CLIST for your SYSPROC concatenation. (QMF720.SDSQCLTE should remain fixed-block because both the QMF install process and SMP/E require a fixed-block CLIST for processing updates.)

   Later in the install, you must allocate the QMF CLIST library (QMF720.SDSQCLTE) as a SYSPROC data set. To do this, concantenate the library to other CLIST libraries.

   Example

   In the following JCL (from DSQ1EINV), the library QMF720.SDSQCLTE is concatenated to a CLIST library named SYS2.CLIST:

   //SYSPROC  DD  DSN=SYS2.CLIST,DISP=SHR
   //         DD  DSN=QMF720.SDSQCLTE,DISP=SHR

2. Edit QMF720.SDSQSAPE(DSQ1EJVC).
3. Verify or change the job statement to conform to your installation.

   //DSQ1EJVC JOB (ACCT),NAME,
   //      CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=A,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),
   //      USER=Q,PASSWORD=Q

4. Verify or change the value of the QMFTPRE parameter in the job's instream procedure.

   //DSQTIVB PROC RGN='2048K',
   //    QMFTPRE='QMF720 ',   Prefix for QMF  libraries
   //    EXEC=                                   Leave blank;
   //*                      used when the procedure is called

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

   //DSQTIVB.SYSUT2 DD DISP=(NEW,CATLG),UNIT=SYSDA,
   //     SPACE=(8800,(400,50,25)),VOL=SER=XXXXXX,
   //     DCB=(RECFM=VB,LRECL=84,BLKSIZE=8800)

6. Submit job QMF720.SDSQSAPE(DSQ1EJVC).
7. Check for a return code of 0.
