___  1.  Install the product change in the MVS central site
         libraries using PSP Online.

___  2.  If any members of sharedprefix.MICS.LOAD have been
         replaced by updated members (this is noted in the
         change text of the product change) and your MVS
         system is not MVS/XA or above, you must reassemble
         and link the updated modules.  This can be done
         using the job in sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL(VMTASML)
         created during the initial product installation.

___  3.  Edit sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL(VMTXRDR) and alter the
         SENDLIST DDname so it references the maintenance to
         be sent to the VM system:

          //SENDLIST DD DISP=SHR,
          //   DSN=sharedprefix.MICS.HOLD.PARMS(fix_ref)

         where "fix_ref" is the name of the maintenance
         transmission control file.  This control file has a
         name consisting of the change number suffixed with
         the letter I.  e.g., Product change VMT6005 has a
         control file named VMT6005I.

___  4.  Submit sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL(VMTXRDR).  This job
         must complete with a return code of zero.  Review
         the SASLOG to make sure all members selected in
         VMTXRDR have been found.

___  5.  Log on to the CMS userid that is to receive the
         maintenance.

___  6.  If the job submitted in step 4 transferred the
         maintenance by NJE, enter the command:

            VMTMNT RDR

         If the job submitted in step 4 transferred the
         maintenance by TAPE, enter the command:

            VMTMNT TAPE

         The VMTMNT utility initiates all steps required to
         load the product change onto the VM Data Transfer
         Program minidisk and make the product change
         operational.
