Connecting the ISPF Libraries to Your System

Allocate the CA Disk dialog manager libraries to your TSO session by performing the following procedure. This must be done before invoking ISPF.

To allocate the CA Disk dialog manager libraries to your TSO session

1. Determine how your installation allocates the data sets referred to by the following ddnames to the TSO session prior to invoking the ISPF facility. They can be allocated by including them in the TSO LOGON JCL procedure or through a CLIST that is executed sometime before ISPF is invoked.

   CCUWPNL0

   DDName Library: ISPPLIB  

   CCUWSKL0

   DDName Library: ISPSLIB

   CCUWMSG0

   DDName Library: ISPMLIB

   CCUWLOAD

   DDName Library: ISPLLIB

2. Update the allocation of these libraries to concatenate the CA Disk ISPF libraries after them. The names of these libraries correspond to the ddnames to which they should be concatenated.
3. Check the block sizes of the libraries being concatenated. The block size of the first library must be greater than or equal to the second, or errors occur. This can be corrected by either reblocking the libraries or simply putting DCB=BLKSIZE= a larger value on the dd statement for the first data set of the concatenation.

   For example, JCL before libraries are concatenated:

   //ISPPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ISP.vrm.ISPPLIB 
   //ISPSLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ISP.vrm.ISPSLIB 
   //ISPMLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ISP.vrm.ISPMLIB 
   //ISPLLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ISP.vrm.ISPLLIB
   

   JCL after CA Disk libraries are concatenated:

   //ISPPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ISP.vrm.ISPPLIB 
   //        DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CA.DISK.CCUWPNL0
   //ISPSLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ISP.vrm.ISPSLIB 
   //        DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CA.DISK.CCUWSKL0 
   //ISPMLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ISP.vrm.ISPMLIB 
   //        DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CA.DISK.CCUWMSG0 
   //ISPLLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ISP.vrm.ISPLLIB 
   //        DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CA.DISK.LOADLIB
