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.
