It's quite true that we try to get everyone to call z/OS elements by names consistent with the z/OS release in which they are included to prevent confusion. But this product is not part of z/OS, and I have no control over its name (or, for that matter, any other name). The product we're talking about is the "IBM XML Toolkit for z/OS, V1.8." The word "for" and the comma are both significant in the name. -- John Eells z/OS Technical Marketing IBM Poughkeepsie [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

OK, so the name's confusing. But it's V1.8 of the "toolkit for z/OS," not the "z/OS R8 toolkit." More importantly, if you upgrade from R6 of the toolkit or lower, and use the XML and XSLT parsers, don't forget to install an SDK that includes them at the same time, because these functions moved with V1.7 (of the toolkit!). -- John Eells z/OS Technical Marketing IBM Poughkeepsie [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: XML TOOLKIT Installation question.
Think very, very large. Our XML HFS is about half the size of the z/OS
logical root. (z/OS 1.8? You are certainly in reach-ahead mode.)
Data Set Name . . . : OSR17.OMVS.XML

Data set name type : HFS

As for mounting, we use this in BPXPARM for the SMP/E install-only HFS:
MOUNT FILESYSTEM('OSR17.OMVS.XML') TYPE(HFS) MODE(RDWR)
MOUNTPOINT('/OSR17/usr/lpp/ixm/IBM/')
You don't have much flexibility in the mount point because of the
assumptions made by various components about the location of other
components. Same goes for the run-time HFS.
