Thus clearly demonstrating how much more intelligent having the OS figure this kind of stuff out and worry about it on its own (ie the way CP does it) is over the IODF/HCD route. 8-)

There are no alternatives at this time. I agree with the Support Center. The assembler is required in order to import an IOCP deck into HCD. So if you want the convenience of that, you buy the assembler. If you don't use HCD, you don't need the assembler. If you want to use HCD, but don't wish to import an existing IOCP deck, choosing to re-enter the data manually (eeeww!), then you don't need the assembler. I was trying (and failed, obviously...I am too subtle!) to make a point about hard dependencies. HLASM is not *required* to manage an I/O configuration, a basic hw management function. If it were, there would be grounds for serious complaint.

Re: APARs and PTFs for the z196
At least since 6/10/08. That's the date on my HCPSADMP EXEC and it checks for each of the below modules. Guess it shows just how long it's been since I needed the SA DUMP utility, hmm? Well, cool. I can cancel a whole bunch of HLASM licenses then. Yay. -- db

Re: APARs and PTFs for the z196
Secondly, you do not need HLASM to create/maintain the standalone dump program. HCPSADMP checks for HLASM, HASM, and ASSEMBLE (FASM). It can use any of them. Really? That’s cool. I’ve been continuing to order HLASM on systems that don’t need it, then. Any idea when that change went in?

Re: creating second maint user
Simply copying MAINT's CP directory entry isn't the right thing to do... You'd have all minidisks in overlap. ready to be destroyed... What do you use MAINT for. Most probably you don't need MAINT for these tasks - some CP commands need special PRIV classes, so if you give these classes to "xyz" you are all set. - for SW maintenance, you probably continue to use MAINT. But, even there you could use other userids. - to use product services (like DIRMAINT), you must be authorized in the product itself 2010/11/15 Wandschneider, Scott > Do you have DIRMAINT?
