E.4.5.1 Data Entry Instructions
Default values are specified through the Browse/Print Options
process of PSP Options for each of the three PSP Online
processes that provide facilities for printing product
changes. The default values displayed on this panel depend
upon the process from which the print request was issued.
Print individual PC text or consolidated checklist -
Required. TEXT or CKLIST.
Specify TEXT (may be abbreviated as T) to print the
individual product change description, installation
checklist, and associated installation JCL for each
product change you have selected.
Specify CKLIST (may be abbreviated as C) to print a
consolidated installation checklist for all of the
product changes you have selected. The consolidated
checklist is generated by combining the individual
checklists delivered with each product change.
Redundant and duplicate steps found across checklists
are removed during the consolidation process.
Use composite UNITGEN in consolidated checklist - Required if
Print parameter is CKLIST; ignored if Print parameter is
TEXT. YES or NO.
Specify Y (YES) to generate a consolidated checklist for
the selected product changes using the composite UNITGEN
process for unit-level JCL and parameter generation.
Note: This item may be locked until an active
maintenance process is finished by completing a previous
checklist.
Specify N (NO) to generate a consolidated checklist for
the selected product changes using the individual CA
MICS generation jobs (for example, cccPGEN, JCLGENC,
CYCLEGEN, GDGSGEN) for unit-level JCL and parameter
generation.
This parameter is valid only when you specify CKLIST
for the Print parameter above.
Note: If you get an error message because this item is
locked, complete the active composite UNITGEN process
before trying again. There is also a forced unlock
option available in the PSP Utilities panel, option 4.
We do not recommend that you use this option unless it
is impossible to complete the active composite UNITGEN
process.
Print summary of changed libraries/members -
Required. YES or NO.
Specify YES (may be abbreviated as Y) to print a
list of the libraries or members that have changed.
Print product change appendix -
Required. YES or NO.
Specify YES (may be abbreviated as Y) to print the
product change appendix with details about data element
changes, if there are any, in the consolidated
checklist.
Print data set name - Required. Defaults to
userid.MICS.USER.PSPn.LIST, where userid is your TSO
logon ID and n is a sequential number to keep the data
set name unique. The selected product change information
will be written to this data set. A batch job will be
generated to print the contents of this data set and then
delete the data set.
DASD Volume serial - Optional. Defaults to the last value
specified for this parameter. 6 character VOL=SER name.
The print data set will be allocated (if new) using this
volume specification. This parameter is NOT validated;
however, allocation will fail if you specify an invalid
value. This parameter should match the volume
specification normally used to allocate TSO user data
sets at your data center.
DASD Unit name - Optional. Defaults to the last value
specified for this parameter. 1-8 character DASD unit
name. The print data set will be allocated using this
unit specification. This parameter should match the unit
specification normally used to allocate TSO user data
sets at your data center. This parameter is NOT
validated; however, allocation will fail if an invalid
value is specified.
Block size - Required. Defaults to the last value specified
for this parameter. Number between 141 and 32760. This
is the block size (that is, BLKSIZE = parameter) for the
print data set.
Edit JCL - Required. Defaults to the last value specified
for this parameter. Specify YES (may be abbreviated as
Y) to display the print job stream using the PDF EDIT
service prior to executing this job stream. This
provides the opportunity to alter or cancel the print job
stream. Specify NO (may be abbreviated as N) to bypass
the generated batch job stream display.
Number of copies - Required. Defaults to the last value
specified for this parameter. 1-99. This is the number
of copies of the product change information to be
printed.
SYSOUT class - Required. Defaults to the last value
specified for this parameter: A-Z, 0-9, or *. This is
the SYSOUT class for printing the product change
information. Normal SYSOUT options can be specified to
handle special forms (that is, SYSOUT = (*,,GB66)).
Job statement - Required. Data entry fields are provided for
four lines of job statement information. This job
statement will be followed by the generated JCL
statements to print the product change information.
