Sharing the HZSPROC procedure

You can share the IBM® Health Checker for z/OS® startup procedure, HZSPROC, between systems as long as you make specific parameters specific to the system. A typical system specific parameter is the HZSPDATA dataset. If an HZSPDATA DD statement is specified in the HZSPROC procedure, it should use unique system symbols for the system since the HZSPDATA dataset can not be shared between systems. If HZSPDATA is referenced in one of the HZSPRM proc parm specified HZSPRMxx suffixes, that HZSPRMxx parmlib member should use system symbols in the HZSPDATA statement.

You can share HZSPROC between systems at different release levels. In particular, after V2R1 and later, assuming you use the HZSPDATA DD to specify the HZSPDATA dataset. Prior to V2R1 systems only support the DD, not the HZSPRMxx HZSPDATA statement.
