You can write an MVS™ batch job that uses a JCL procedure to invoke the mass installation process and then submit this job to run under the terminal monitor program (TMP). The job can be submitted using the TSO/E SUBMIT command or an equivalent method of job submission.

A sample JCL procedure, ICQMIFP, is provided in SYS1.SAMPLIB and contains the default values for required files and parameters. Your installation may modify this procedure when placing it in your system procedure library. Your job can use ICQMIFP as is, or you can provide installation written JCL to override default parameter values. Default library values may also be modified using standard JCL statements in the batch job. Installation Example for Mass Installation File Processing shows the sample JCL procedure ICQMIFP and provides an example of installation written override JCL. See z/OS MVS JCL Reference, and z/OS MVS JCL User's Guide, for information about how to override parameters specified in a JCL procedure.

ICQMIFP executes the REXX exec, ICQAMRMI, which is the main mass installation file processing module. When ICQAMRMI is invoked in batch, a temporary ISPF profile is allocated and batch ISPF is started.
