This is what we had when we converted from 1.12 to 1.13; LOAD1C and new LOAD1D Each contains a section for the specific LPAR, ie. Catalog name and unique PARMLIB datasets - AFTER the global, shared parmlib datasets. In the LOAD1C (1.12) we coded IEASYM 1C and in LOAD1D we coded IEASYM 1D In the IEASYMxx (see above) we setup other variables to include the Z/OS version number, ie: SYMDEF(&ZVER='1D') SYMDEF(&Z1='ZOS') SYMDEF(&Z2='D') (and the same in IEASYM1C we have the version substituted for the same variables). Then we use these 'zos version' variables all over the place to distinguish between versions - so not matter to what version we go in the future, we just create a new LOADxx, a new IEASYMxx member (and any other parmlib members that required unique datasets, in our case we have one other BPXPRMxx). Even my MASTER JCL is shared across LPARS by using the above Z/os Variables that is version specific.
I can send you complete examples if you so require. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@listserv.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Miklos Szigetvari Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2012 7:05 AM To: IBM-MAIN@listserv.ua.edu Subject: Re: Change IEASYMxx via opartor prompt We intend to swap the systems between two LPAR's.
