Setting up a shared parmlib

Before you use system symbols to share parmlib definitions that require unique values, you must evaluate the requirements for system symbols at your installation. Determine which members of parmlib require unique definitions. Then determine what system symbols you need so two or more systems can share those members.

Based on that evaluation, you can then take the following actions:
  • Define substitution texts for system-defined static system symbols, or accept their default substitution texts
  • Determine if you need to define additional static system symbols.
Follow these steps to set up the parmlib for sharing:
  1. Step 1. Plan to share parmlib members
  2. Step 2. Determine where to specify system parameters
  3. Step 3. Determine where to specify the system name
  4. Step 2. Determine where to use system symbols in parmlib
  5. Step 4. Create an IEASYMxx parmlib member
  6. Step 5. Code support for system symbols in LOADxx
