Unload into a New Data Set from Tape

If dsnpref.NMC1.CC2DJCL does not exist and you are installing from tape, you must unload the installation software from tape on to your DASD and into a new data set.

Follow these steps:

  1. Create an unload job by copying the following JCL:
    //jobname  JOB ..............
    //STEP1   EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY
    //SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=* 
    //SYSUT1   DD  DSN=CAI.SAMPJCL,
    //             DISP=OLD,UNIT=?device-in,VOL=SER=?tapeser,
    //             LABEL=(1,SL,EXPDT=98000)
    //SYSUT2   DD  DSN=?dsnpref.NMC1.CC2DJCL,
    //             DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
    //             UNIT=?device-out,VOL=SER=?volser,
    //             SPACE=(CYL,(10,1,140)),
    //             DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=0)
    //SYSIN    DD  DUMMY
    

    Important! The SYSUT2 data set name must end with NMC1.CC2DJCL.

  2. Replace the statements prefixed with a question mark (?) with your own values as follows:
    ?device-in

    Specifies the tape drive unit to mount the tape.

    ?tapeser

    Specifies the tape volume serial number in the form C2D76x. The value for this release is C2D760.

    ?dsnpref

    Specifies the data set prefix that will be used for the installation, maintenance, and Install Utility data sets. Do not include the name of your planned product region in the prefix; ?dsnpref can be up to 29 characters long. If the data set high level qualifiers you are using do not exist, define an alias entry in the master catalog.

    ?device-out

    Specifies the type of the DASD device where you want to place the installation software.

    ?volser

    Specifies the volume serial number of the DASD.

    If allocation is controlled by SMS, replace UNIT= and VOL=SER= with STORCLAS=?storclass.

  3. Submit and run the job.
  4. Check that the job successfully completed.
