Enable Library Sharing Among CPUs with JES2OFFSETSUFFIX (JES2 only)

The CA OPS/MVS parameter JES2OFFSETSUFFIX enables you to share a common CA OPS/MVS library among multiple CPUs that have different versions of JES2. It does this by enabling you to add a two-character, alphanumeric suffix to the name of your OPJ2CB module. You can change this parameter anytime to load a new JES2 offset module.

Use the following OPSPRM REXX function to specify a suffix for the OPJ2CB module. Set this parameter as follows:

var = OPSPRM("SET","JES2OFFSETSUFFIX","xx")

where xx is the suffix desired.

To use JES2OFFSETSUFFIX, assemble and link the OPJ2CB module with its suffix. Member JES2ASM in OPS.CNTL contains assemble and link job JCL. To implement the new suffix, modify the NAME linkage editor statement in the JES2ASM member with the desired suffix:

MODE RMODE(ANY),AMODE(31)  SET ADDRESSING/RESIDENCE 
ENTRY OPJ2CB
NAME OPJ2CBxx(R)     (<--suffix required)

If you want to use the JES2OFFSETSUFFIX, then the OPJ2CB load module must be the default load module distributed on the tape.

Note: A reassembled OPJ2CB takes precedence over an assembled OPJ2CBxx.
