Data Sets Eligible for Library Concatenation

A SYSTEM data set is required for all library types. USER and SITE data sets are not required. The definition of USER and SITE data sets are always optional.

USER and SITE data sets are not eligible for all library types.

The following table shows data set eligibility by library type:

Library Type	DSN Suffix	User Data Set	Site Data Set	System Data Set
CAPLIB	CNM4BCAP	n/a	Site	System
CLISTLIB	CNM4BCLS	User	Site	System
DATALIB	CNM4BDAT	n/a	n/a	System
HELPLIB	CNM4BHLP	User	Site	System
MAPLIB	CNM4MAP	User	Site	System
MIBLIB	CNM4MIB	User	Site	System
PANELLIB	CNM4BPNL	User	Site	System
PARMLIB	CNM4BPRM	User	Site	System
PLOTLIB	CNM4BPLT	User	Site	System
PROFILE	CNM4BPRF	n/a	n/a	System
REXXLIB	CNM4BREX	n/a	Site	System
SAMPLIB	CNM4BSAM	n/a	n/a	System
SECURITY	CNM4BSEC	n/a	n/a	System
TEMPLATE	CNM4BTMP	User	Site	System

The following table shows data set eligibility by library type before Release 13.9:

Note: A SITE data set did not exist and a USER data set was available for a limited number of library types. Only a limited number of parmlib members were eligible for the USER library.

Library Type	DSN Suffix	User Data Set	Site Data Set	System Data Set
CAPLIB	CNM4BCAP	n/a	n/a	System
CLISTLIB	CNM4BCLS	User	n/a	System
DATALIB	CNM4BDAT	n/a	n/a	System
HELPLIB	CNM4BHLP	n/a	n/a	System
MAPLIB	CNM4MAP	User	n/a	System
MIBLIB	CNM4MIB	User	n/a	System
PANELLIB	CNM4BPNL	n/a	n/a	System
PARMLIB	CNM4BPRM	User	n/a	System
PLOTLIB	CNM4BPLT	User	n/a	System
PROFILE	CNM4BPRF	n/a	n/a	System
REXXLIB	CNM4BREX	n/a	n/a	System
SAMPLIB	CNM4BSAM	n/a	n/a	System
SECURITY	CNM4BSEC	n/a	n/a	System
TEMPLATE	CNM4BTMP	n/a	n/a	System

Update the INSTALL Job

The member INSTALL found in the installation data set sysview.SAMPJCL is used to create dynamically all of the other installation members.

The following entry generates a set to allocate a set of SITE libraries:

SITEDSN=YES

The generated GSVXgsvx system configuration options member includes the definitions for site libraries.

JES Definitions

In releases before <productgname> Release 13.9, the data statements that were entered in the JES parmlib member were column-dependent or specific.

The data is no longer column specific. The data is positional and can be entered in any column as long as the data is contained in columns 1 through 72.
