How to Change PMSTBLS

Use the following procedure to change the default PMS tables.

1. Get the PMSTBLS source member from the CA IPC CAIMAC library.
2. Use the following information in the $PMSTBLS Macro Format Descriptions to make the necessary changes. The following conventions are in effect:
   • For environments that support standard lowercase EBCDIC characters, for example, X'81' through X'B9', the names of months and days are specified in lowercase with the first character in uppercase.
   • For an environment that does not use X'81' through X'B9' for standard lowercase EBCDIC characters, specify the names exactly as they should appear and specify ALLOWUC=NO.
   • If an apostrophe or ampersand is part of a name or an alphabet, type two apostrophes or two ampersands to specify one character inside of a quoted string.
   • A list of names, including commas, is restricted to 256 characters by the assembler.
3. Assemble and linkedit the modified PMSTBLS using the following sample JCL:

   //         JOB
   //*
   //JS01     EXEC ASMA90,PARM=’NODECK,LOAD’
   //ASM.SYSLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SOURCE
   //           DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SOURCE
   //           DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SOURCE
   //           DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.MACLIB
   //SYSGO    DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=OBJECT(PMSTBLS)
   //SYSIN    DD  *
    COPY PMSTBLS
    END
   /*
   //JS02    EXEC IEWL,COND=(0,NE),
   //            PARM=’XREF,LIST,NCAL,REUS(RENT)’
   //SYSLMOD  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=LOAD
   //OBJECT   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=OBJECT
   //SYSIN    DD *
    INCLUDE   OBJECT(PMSTBLS)
    NAME      PMSTBLS(R)
