Determine if the region-level runtime option JCL requires changes

Description

Because of the changes introduced in Accommodate removal of samples provided for system-level runtime usermods, new region-level assembler samples are provided in the SCEESAMP data set. These samples are called CEERDOPT, CEERCOPT and CELQRDOP. Each sample contains the IBM-supplied default values for runtime options. The instructions in the CEEWROPT and CEEWQROP sample JCL parts for creating region-level runtime options load modules have been updated to refer to the new assembler samples.

Table 1 provides more details about this migration action. Use this information to plan your changes to the system.

Table 1. Information about this migration action
Element or feature: Language Environment.
When change was introduced: z/OS V2R1.
Applies to migration from: z/OS V1R13.
Timing: Before the first IPL of z/OS V2R2.
Is the migration action required? No, but recommended if you need to create a new region-level runtime options module.
Target system hardware requirements: None.
Target system software requirements: None.
Other system (coexistence or fallback) requirements: None.
Restrictions: None.
System impacts: None.
Related IBM Health Checker for z/OS check: None.

Steps to take

No action is needed for existing CEEROPT modules or for JCL job which already contain a copy of the old assembler samples. If you need to create a new region-level runtime options module, use the updated JCL and sample assembler parts.
